Even little kids have a wage gap
Boys, on average, spend two fewer hours doing household chores per week than girls do (they play two hours more).
If they live in households where children are compensated for doing chores, boys make and save more money. Ā
A 2009 study conducted by University of Michigan economists found a two-hour gender disparity in responsibilities per week in a study of 3,000 kids.
75 percent of girls had chores, while just 65 percent of boys do
This disparity in chores and free time continues into adulthood allĀ over the world. Ā According to theĀ Organisation of Economic Co-operation and DevelopmentĀ (OECD),Ā men āreport spending more time in activities counted as leisure than women. Gender differences in leisure time are wide across OECD countries.ā
YearĀ afterĀ year, studies repeatedlyĀ confirmĀ these patterns.
The problems women face with unequal pay and housework duties actually start in childhood.
The fact that boysā chores appear to beĀ more profitableĀ makes the childhood chore gap even more disturbing. Turns out, parents tend toĀ valueĀ the work that boys do more.Ā
Gender stereotypes dictate these patterns.Ā
men who grow up with sisters do less housework than their spouses and are also significantly more socially conservative.
