Objective.本文的目的是检验两个假设，观察到的负相关关系之间的家务劳动时间和工资的妇女。方法.进行回归分析以确定家务劳动-工资关系对努力和工作灵活性控制的稳健性。这些数据包含自我报告的灵活性指标和关于努力的独特信息，可以标准化以减少报告中的个体特异性异质性。结果报告的工作努力和灵活的工作条件被认为是工资的重要决定因素，但不是以牺牲家务劳动时间为代价。结论证据未能支持家务劳动和工资之间的联系，无论是工作努力或时间的灵活性，但发现只有在工作日花在家务劳动上的时间与工资呈负相关，这表明时间限制是一个关键因素。
Objective. The purpose of this paper is to test two hypotheses regarding the observed negative relation between housework time and wages for women. Methods. Regression analysis is performed to determine the robustness of the housework‐wage relation to controls for effort and job flexibility. The data contain self‐reported flexibility measures and unique information on effort that can be normalized to reduce individual‐specific heterogeneity in reporting. Results. Reported work effort and flexible working conditions are found to be significant determinants of wages, but not at the expense of housework time. Conclusion. The evidence fails to support a link between housework and wages based on either job effort or hours flexibility, but the finding that only time spent on housework on job days is negatively related to wages suggests that time constraints are a critical factor.
