Abstract:
A large literature examines men's unemployment and their wives' labor-market participation. In response to her husband's unemployment, a woman may adjust her labor supplied to household production as well as to the market. This article tests for this effect and measures its impact using the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Cost of Living survey of 1917–1919. Households altered both household-production decisions and the wife's labor supplied to the market in response to the husband's unemployment. But the household-production-response effect was smaller than the added-worker effect, in terms of women's labor hours and household consumption.

Abstract:
Purpose This paper aims to analyze the question of how household indebtedness impacts households’ incentives to search for and accept work after displacement. Design/methodology/approach To analyze the relationship between household indebtedness and unemployment duration, this paper applies standard proportional hazard models. For data, this paper relies on the longitudinal US National Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), covering the period between 2008 and 2012. Findings The findings show that a 10% increase in household debt increases the likelihood (hazard) of leaving unemployment by 0.2%–0.4% points. Independent of measuring a household's indebtedness and in light of a series of robustness tests, the results indicate that the pressure of servicing an existing debt burden forces individuals to return to work. Social implications From a policy perspective, the research findings support the notion that household indebtedness plays an important mediating role for labor market outcomes through influencing households’ incentives to return to work after displacement. This finding has important implications for the design of effective policy responses to mass layoffs during the current pandemic. Originality/value A key innovation of the research is that we can show that household indebtedness impacts the labor supply side. From a macroeconomic perspective, this insight is important in better understanding the role of increased indebtedness (and financialization) in amplifying aggregate macroeconomic dynamics.

Abstract:
The article examines patterns of work and employment in urban households of the inter-war Soviet Union. Drawing on population censuses and time-budget surveys, it analyses trends in labour participation and gainful employment for men, women and different age-groups from the mid-1920s to the late 1930s. Particular attention is devoted to the division of labour within the household. The single most important change over this period was a substantial increase in labour participation rates, in particular among women. This was a direct result of the state-led industrialization drive of the 1930s, which simultaneously caused a booming demand for labour and a rapid decline of real wages. Households reacted to this challenge by increasing the number of working members per household. Self-employment, targeted by state repression from the late 1920s, practically disappeared, leaving paid employment as the only viable form of gainful employment. Within the household, the increase in female labour participation rates put a heavy strain on women, who came to face a double burden of employment and household duties, including child-care. In three-generation extended households, which were the norm at the time, this resulted in a division of labour between the generations, with the household members of working age concentrating on paid employment and the elderly members of the household on child-care and subsidiary agriculture.

Abstract:
This paper is concerned with examining the nature of household work strategies in a low income estate in Belfast. It is based on a survey of one in four households within the estate and interviews with one hundred and twenty two school pupils from the area. The paper is divided into three parts. The first section assesses the extent to which male unemployment leads to a renegotiation of the domestic division of labour within the household. The second part of the paper relates to the presence or absence of consumer durables within the household and assesses whether this is connected to the employment status of household members. It examines whether the presence of consumer durables influences the time spent on household labour. The final part of the paper focuses on male involvement in non-routine household tasks.

Abstract:
The article examines the representation of domestic work of female and male characters in children’s literature of the 20th –21st centuries. The research is based on the Corpus of Russian Prose for Children and Youth (DetCorpus). In Soviet and post-Soviet children’s literature, male characters are overrepresented by male authors, the same tendency is present in literature for adults. In contrast, female authors are characterized by a more egalitarian distribution of characters. The analysis of the verbs denoting household work and used in the past tense shows that female characters are more often depicted by certain types of household work by authors of both sexes. Thus, women writers are more likely to portray women doing household work since they portray more women in general. Children’s literature can trace a rich tradition of the symbolic inclusion of male characters in domestic work. The article describes a circle of romantic and adventure topoi, which depict men and boys engaged in the arrangement of everyday life.

Abstract:
Recent discussions on the household production of health focus on how health and illness are produced in the household. New economic models of the household view it as a site where both production and consumption take place; neo-Marxist refinements have demonstrated that the household may also be characterized by conflicting interests, which often involve gender and age inequalities. This type of micro-level analysis is important in improving the understanding of health behaviors, which may then be used to increase the effectiveness of international health programs, many of which have been thus far criticized for their ineffectiveness. An analysis of women's roles towards this end is paramount as women are typically health managers in the domestic economy, a situation that is often noted, but on which research is scant. Recent studies have examined the impact of women's work, both inside and outside the home, on the production of household health. It is also essential to assess how resources (e.g., money, time, food, knowledge, health treatments, power) are distributed in the household and how this distribution may differentially affect the health of household members, especially women and children. Important topics which warrant further exploration in the household production of health literature include the impact of the domestic life-cycle, examination of the household production of health in female-headed households, and greater understanding of the role of men in household health, especially how it may inform international health policies.

Abstract:

This research asks whether the patterns of women's economic contribution and marginalization that previously have been identified apply to the emerging metropolitan fringe areas. I argue that women in metropolitan fringe communities are more marginalized than men in tenns of type of employment, location of employment, hours of employment, and remuneration. Women contribute different amounts and proportions of time and income to the family than men and their contributions, productive and reproductive, significantly add to the household resources and are necessary for household survival. The research identifies women's economic contributions to the household and how they vary by household type and composition. This study uses data collected by Browder et al (1992) from a sample offamilies in Bangkok's metropolitan fringe to explore employment patterns and gender roles. Results show that women and men have different employment patterns~ with women much more likely to be involved with infonnal, self-employed work. Women make significant contributions to household incomes, but they do so while being economically marginalized. Even in a lower-middle to middle class area, residents--particularly women--rely on infonnal sector employment. An important conclusion, which was overlooked in a previous analysis, is that self employment is crucial to women's work patterns. Finally, all women significantly contribute to household income; unlike non-head males, non-head and non-spouse females contribute as much as female heads and spouses.

Abstract:
The structure of the family unit in the United Kingdom has undergone monumental changes in recent decades. The legal definition of a family has evolved substantially to include a wider range of family forms, most recently same-sex marriage, which became legal in the United Kingdom (excluding Northern Ireland) in 2014. Legal changes in the family accompany a range of social changes - among the most common of these is an expansion in the number of different-sex non-marital co-residential unions (concisely called "cohabitation") (Ermisch and Francesconi, 2000; Beaujouan and Bhrolcháin, 2011). Since the 1970s, these types of relationships have become widely accepted (Coast, 2009) and increasingly common (Office for National Statistics, 2012a). However, despite its prevalence, cohabitation in the United Kingdom is seldom studied independently of marriage. My dissertation strives to fill this gap in the literature. Specifically, my dissertation adds to the understanding of the household division of labour during cohabitation. Instead of merely examining cohabitation as one homogenous relationship type, Chapter 2 profiles three groups of cohabitants: 1) pre-marital cohabitants; 2) non-marital short-term cohabitants; 3) long-term cohabitants who reside together for five years or longer. Subsequent chapters examine how each of these groups, in turn, addresses the household division of labour - pre-marital and early couple formation cohabitation in Chapter 3, couples transitioning from cohabitation to marriage in Chapter 4, and during long-term cohabitation in Chapter 5. This dissertation is a significant contribution to the field of economic sociology because the household division of labour has not yet been explored during cohabitation in this way.

Abstract:
A work on biogas potentials evaluation of household wastes in Johannesburg metropolitan area using the Automatic Methane Potential Test System (AMPTS) II is presented. The AMPTS II consists of three units — the sample incubation unit, CO2 absorption unit and the gas volume measuring device. Organic fraction of wastes collected from households within Johannesburg metropolis were sorted, ground and prepared into slurry by mixing with water. Microcrystalline cellulose powder with 3.5% loss on drying and 0.28g/cc density was used as control substrate while anaerobic sludge collected from a functional biogas reactor was used as inoculum. Anaerobic sludge was classified as sample A, household waste containing mainly non-food waste was labelled sample B, sample C was microcrystalline cellulose used as positive control while household waste composing of mainly food waste was classified as sample D. Each sample was fed into a 50 mL bottle reactor in triplicates and stirred in a clockwise direction continuously for 5 minutes with a pulse interval of 1 minute at a set temperature of 37°C for 30 days retention time. NaOH solution was prepared into solution following standard procedure and mixed with a prepared 0.4 % Thymolpthalein solution. The resultant solution was poured into the 100 mL bottles of the CO2 unit. Produced biogas was measured through water displacement in the volumetric bath and values read off through a data-logger connected to a laptop. Results indicated biochemical methane potential (BMP) of 69–800 NmL/gvs and biogas composition with more than 50% methane before CO2 fixing and over 80% after CO2 fixing. Given that the average amount of waste generated per person per day in South Africa is over 0.7 kg, there is huge potentials for biogas production from household wastes in Johannesburg.

Abstract:
Residential energy consumption constitutes a significant portion of the overall energy consumption. There are significant amount of studies that target to reduce this consumption, and these studies mainly create mathematical models to represent and regenerate the energy consumption of individual houses. Most of these models assume that the residential energy consumption can be classified and then predicted based on the household size. As a result, most of the previous studies suggest that household size can be treated as an independent variable which can be used to predict energy consumption. In this work, we test this hypothesis on a large residential energy consumption dataset that also includes demographic information. Our results show that other variables like income, geographic location, house type, and personal preferences strongly impact energy consumption and decrease the importance of household size because the household size can explain only 26.55% of the electricity consumption variation across the houses.

Abstract:
Increasingly stringent industry standards have posed significant challenges on manufacturers to enhance the design and performance of household refrigerators. One of the least expensive and most effective means of improving the system is optimizing the control strategy. Some of the most promising control systems, such as adaptive and optimal control methods, require an accurate model of the system to guide the control effort. However, the complexity and interconnectedness of thermal and refrigerant flow phenomena make developing modern control systems a particularly challenging aspect of designing refrigerators, in spite of many decades of research and development. There exist models to correlate the desired compartments’ temperatures to that of the evaporator coil. However, there is a lack of a general approach to translate the required evaporator temperature to a compressor speed that provides it in an energy efficient manner. This work introduces a method to make that connection. The technique developed in this work can be adjusted for implementation on various refrigerator sizes and platforms to help modulate and control the compressor speed in real time.

Reproducing a Household: Recognising and Assessing Paid and Unpaid Domestic Work in Urban India. Indian Institute for Human Settlements, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.24943/rhrapudwui11.2022.

Abstract:
The key question of this study is to ask: what does it take to reproduce a household in urban India? Using a series of time-use surveys, we measure the time taken for 33 different tasks within activity clusters such as domestic services (cleaning, food preparation, procurement, upkeep) and caregiving services (child care and elderly care). Within this, we assess both unpaid work done by members of the household and paid work done by an externally engaged domestic worker. We do so across 9,636 households in two large metropolitan Indian cities– Bengaluru and Chennai – with variations across socio-economic status, caste, religion, neighbourhood type and across households with and without women working for wages.

Full text
Abstract:
This toolkit provides guidance on using Oxfam’s Household Care Survey (HCS) methodology, which was developed by Oxfam as part of the WE-Care initiative to transform the provision of unpaid care and domestic work (UCDW). UCDW underpins all our lives yet is overwhelmingly provided by women and girls. Recognising UCDW is essential for any initiative that aims to understand and address gender inequality. The HCS is a quantitative survey tool that generates context-specific evidence on how women, men and children spend their time, how care is provided, by whom, and the main factors that affect people’s responsibilities for UCDW, such as access to care services, infrastructure and social norms. The HCS can be used to generate a baseline, or to measure the impact of a specific policy or programme. The methodology can be integrated into different projects with different objectives and adjusted for use in various contexts. The HCS toolkit is designed to be used by development practitioners, policy makers, employers, academics and researchers. Part A provides guidance for planning, collecting, analysing and using HCS data. Part B provides guidance for understanding, adjusting and using the HCS questions. Both sections should be read before undertaking the survey.

Cusbert, Tom. The Effect of Credit Constraints on Housing Prices: (Further) Evidence from a Survey Experiment. Reserve Bank of Australia, January 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.47688/rdp2023-01.

Full text
Abstract:
The response of housing prices to financing conditions is determined by the effect on the marginal buyer, not the average household. I use heterogeneous willingness to pay (WTP) data from a stated preference experiment in Fuster and Zafar (2021) to estimate the effects of changes in mortgage rates and collateral constraints on housing prices by analysing the structure of housing demand curves. This work builds on their research, which focused on average changes in WTP. Relaxing down payment constraints has a large average effect on WTP, but the effect on price is less than half as large. Financially constrained households tend to respond more to relaxed constraints, but those households often have WTPs that are too low to affect market prices. Changing the mortgage rate has the same average effect on WTPs and on market prices, because there is no systematic relationship between a household's response to mortgage rates and their location on the demand curve. I use a heterogeneous user cost model of individual WTPs to understand how household heterogeneity determines the structure of overall housing demand. An empirical model using observable household characteristics allows the experimental findings to be applied to other household survey data to simulate the effects of credit conditions. The simulated effects of easing collateral constraints in Australia are fairly stable over the past 20 years, and show a similar pattern to the US results.
