本研究探讨生活在单亲家庭与双亲家庭是否会影响孩子花在家庭生产、休闲、学习和有偿工作活动上的时间。第二个数据集包含加利福尼亚5岁以上儿童样本的时间日记数据。结果表明，系统差异确实存在。具体来说，随着家庭收入的增加，与双亲一起生活的孩子在家庭生产活动上花费的时间越来越少。单亲家庭子女的家庭贡献与家庭收入无关。在这两种家庭类型中，女孩花在家庭生产上的时间都比她们的男性兄弟姐妹多。单亲家庭的孩子花在有偿工作活动上的时间更多。这种工作，加上家庭责任的增加，意味着单亲家庭的孩子比双亲家庭的孩子在更早的年龄享受更少的闲暇时间。单亲家庭的女孩在学校活动上花费的时间明显少于她们的兄弟姐妹或双亲家庭的女孩。
This study examines whether living in a single- versus two-parent household influences the time children spend in home production, leisure, school, and paid work activities. A secondary data set containing time diary data for a sample of California children over age 5 was used. Results indicated that systematic differ ences do exist. Specifically, children living with two parents spend increasingly less time in home production activities as their family income rises. The home contributions of children of single parents were invariant to family income. Among both family types, girls spend more time in home production than do their male siblings. Single-parent children spend more time in paid work activi ties. This employment, along with increased home responsibilities, means that single-parent children enjoy less leisure time at an earlier age than their two- parent counterparts. Female children living with a single parent spend signifi cantly less time in school activities than either their male siblings or their two- parent counterparts.
