ABSTRACT
This study embeds paid and unpaid care work in a structuralist macroeconomic model.
Care work is formally modeled as a gendered input into the market production process
via its impact on the current and future labor force, with altruistic motivations
determining both how much support people give one another and the economic
effectiveness of that support.
Although Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay show similar empirical patterns in terms of time women devote to unpaid work, they also present important variations in how unpaid work is distributed between men and women.
This study examines how a social pension program changes paid work patterns and expectations about the source of future financial support for the elderly in China.
This study examines the impacts of unpaid family care on labor supply and earnings of women and men near retirement age in urban China.
