| Abstract: | This paper makes use of the British Household Panel Survey to present the estimates of the housework-wage relationship for the first time in Britain. Controlling for permanent unobserved heterogeneity, it is found that housework has a negative effect on the wages of men and women, both married and single, working full-time. Among part-time working women, only single women suffer a housework penalty. The housework penalty is similar across occupations within full-time jobs but certain part-time jobs seem to be more compatible with housework than others. Tentative evidence is found for the housework penalty being larger when there are children present. |
