Labor market outcomes for women in East Asia
In this study, I provide comparative pictures of labor market outcomes for women in four East Asian countries to gain an understanding of the dimension of gender hierarchy. Labor market outcomes for women, with respect to gender gap, include employment rates, working hours, and wages. I try to explain here what factors would account for the differences in women's labor market outcomes across these countries, drawing on how social and labor polici…
Counting Care Work in Social Policy: Valuing Unpaid Child- and Eldercare in Korea
This study demonstrates the usefulness of quantifying and valuing time spent on unpaid care work and explores the links between social policies, unpaid care work, and gender equality in the context of recent social care reforms in the Republic of Korea. Using information provided by two nationally representative surveys, this article elaborates on the gendered organization of care provision and the total costs of care services for children and th…
Gender Norms, Housework, and Class: A Study of Korean Time Use Survey
This study asks whether and how gender norms explain the time spent on housework in dual-earner households. In doing so, I explore the ways in which gender norms affect housework in specific class contexts. Using the 2004 Korean Time Use Survey (Korea Statistics Office, 2004), I focus on and define gender norms in the following way: individuals hold egalitarian attitudes if they are opposed to the traditional sexual division of labor. Regression …
Do Women Really Fare Better When Working Part-time: Examining the Korean Case
As married women enter the labor market and the traditional gender division of labor is being undermined, concerns with gender equality have been soaring in terms of the distribution of total work between men and women. In solving the difficulties of accommodating needs of employed married women, part-time employment is being promoted as a strategy enhancing labor force participation of married women with children. Part-time work may have positiv…
Making Do and Getting By: Non‐Market Work and Elderly Women's Standards of Living in the United States
We use pooled data from the 2003, 2004, and 2005 American Time Use Surveys (ATUS) to explore the impact of non‐market household work on the living standards of the elderly. We describe how women and men allocate their time after they reach age 55 by race/ethnicity, age, and household structure. Focusing on those aged 55–64 and 65–74, we examine white, Black, and Hispanic differences in time use by gender, and compare women and men living alone an…
By what measure? family time devoted to children in the united states
We argue that previous research on time devoted to child care has paid insufficient attention to the conceptualization of care time. Three separate problems are evident. First, the conventional focus on explicit activities with children distracts attention from the larger responsibilities of “passive” care, which ranges from time when children are sleeping to time when they are in the same general area but are not engaged in an activity with pare…
