Output‐Related Evaluations Of Unpaid Household Work: A Challenge for Time Use Studies

Abstract

This paper reviews monetary evaluations of unpaid household work, taking as a starting point the output of household productive activity. Possibilities for further developments are outlined, and desirable characteristics of such evaluations are advanced. A question is asked: Can time use research provide the necessary data? From an examination of data already collected in time use surveys, the reply appears to be in the affirmative.
