摘要我们研究了越南18岁以下兄弟姐妹在家务劳动中的性别差距。我们发现，女儿每天比儿子多承担5.25分钟的无偿家务劳动。然而，14岁以下儿童在家务劳动方面的性别差距可以忽略不计。15岁时性别差距的缩小表明，父母最终开始考虑女儿的教育问题。然而，在此之前，性别差距随着年龄的增长而增加，如果女儿也从事有报酬的工作，差距可能会更大。
Abstract We examine the gender gap in housework in Vietnam among siblings aged less than 18 years. We show daughters undertake 5.25 minutes more unpaid housework per day than sons. However, the gender gap in housework is negligible for children aged less than 14 years. A decline in the gender gap at 15 years of age suggests parents eventually begin to consider the education of their daughters. Before then, however, the gender gap increases with age and can be even greater if daughters also engage in paid work.
