家务分工与性别收入差距:基于文献的研究

A Review of Literature on the Division of Household Labour and Gender-based Earning Disparities

减轻女性的家务负担,促进妇女发展和性别平等一直是社会关注的重要问题。文章回顾和总结了家务性别分工的原因,探讨了家务劳动与工资收入的关系及其对性别收入差距的影响。研究结果发现,家务劳动对工资收入具有惩罚效应,不平等的家务分工是形成性别收入差距的重要机制。文章就此讨论和提出了相关研究启示和政策含义。

Relieving the burden of family responsibilities for women is suggested as a key policy for promoting gender equality. In this paper, we review the recent and growing literature on the division of household labour, the relationship between housework and the earnings. We conclude that time incurred for housework represents a significant penalty on earnings. The unequal division of household labour between men and women represents an important source of disparities in earnings. We fmally suggest future directions for fur- ther research and its policy implications.
