The aim of this paper is to analyze the effects of compliance with the social norms of assistance and solidarity during social events on the time management of day laborers in Burkina Faso using cross-sectional data collected from 140-day laborers in Ouagadougou's industrial zones. We used a recursive system of equations, a fractional probit and a general linear model. Estimates were made using the conditional mixed process (CMP) proposed by Roodman (2011). The results show that: (i) workers in companies with relatively high wages have a lower degree of compliance with social norms than those with low wages; (ii) an increase in the degree of submission to social norms has a negative impact on the working time of the day laborer. This result suggests the need for a formal flexible social protocol for optimal participation in economic activities and manifestations of solidarity with in our societies
