本文利用2008年中国时间利用调查的数据，考察了有酬工作、无酬照护工作和非工作活动的时间分配的性别模式，并估计了无酬照护工作的货币价值。一个看似不相关的回归（SUR）技术，探讨这三种类型的活动之间的权衡。估计数表明，在保持不变的个人特点和区域影响的情况下，妇女的总工作时间在农村部门每周比男子多7小时，在城市部门每周比男子多10.5小时。无酬照护工作的货币价值通过五种方法估算。根据所使用的方法，分配给无酬照护工作的价值在中国国内生产总值的25%至32%之间，在最终消费的52%至66%之间，在第三产业生产总值的63%至80%之间。
Using data from the 2008 China Time Use Survey, this paper examines the gender patterns of time allocation over paid work, unpaid care work, and non-work activity and estimates the monetary value of unpaid care work. A seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) technique is applied to explore the tradeoff between the three types of activity. The estimates show that, holding constant individual characteristics and regional effects, the total work time of women is higher than that of men by 7 hours per week in the rural sector and by 10.5 hours per week in the urban sector. The monetary value of unpaid care work is estimated by five methods. Depending on the method used, the value assigned to unpaid care work varies from 25 to 32 percent of China's GDP, from 52 to 66 percent of final consumption, and from 63 to 80 percent of the gross products of tertiary industry.
