这项研究利用2000年全国家庭调查（ENCOVI 2000）的数据，包括一个时间使用模块，审查危地马拉家庭中的无报酬工作。这份材料强调了危地马拉家庭无报酬工作在经济方面的重要性，并得出结论说，2000年，其价值相当于当年国内生产总值的约30%。无酬工作的价值是采用机会成本法估算的，其中采用了市场工资以及不同的重置成本措施。该研究随后探讨了危地马拉时间贫穷的性质，并审查了时间贫穷和收入贫穷的决定因素，得出结论认为，妇女更有可能经历这种情况。该研究还发现，对小型基础设施的投资和拥有一个电或煤气炉有可能减少危地马拉的时间和收入贫穷，主要是通过减轻妇女的时间负担，使她们的无酬家务工作更有效率。
This study examines unpaid work in the household in Guatemala using data from a national 2000 household survey (ENCOVI 2000), which included a time-use module. The contribution highlights the importance of unpaid work in Guatemalan households in economic terms and concludes that in 2000, its value was equivalent to approximately 30 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for that year. The value of unpaid work is estimated using an opportunity cost approach applying market wages as well as different measures of replacement costs. The study then explores the nature of time poverty in Guatemala and examines the determinants of being both time and income poor, concluding that women are more likely to experience this condition. The study also finds that investment in small infrastructure and ownership of an electric or gas stove has the potential to reduce time and income poverty in Guatemala, primarily by alleviating women's time burdens and making their unpaid household work more efficient.
