Gaps in the (paid) work hours of male and female heads of households: empirical evidence from Barbados

Artikel

This study investigates the magnitude and possible determinants of gaps in the (paid) working hours of male and female heads of households. It utilises the Bauer and Sinning's (2008) general decomposition method to examine the differences in work hours among male and female heads of households using data from the 2014 Barbados labour force survey. The results suggest that the employment hours of female heads of households is 3.6% less than that of their male equivalents, which translates to an annual hour differential of roughly 68 to 71 employment hours.
