Disparities in Time Allocation
Significant disparities exist in how men and women in India allocate their time, especially concerning paid and unpaid work. Women, on average, spend about five hours and 33 minutes on paid work daily, compared to over seven hours for men, indicating a gender gap in formal labor participation. However, the gap widens dramatically when considering unpaid domestic work and caregiving, with women dedicating nearly 20% of their day to these responsibilities. This reality raises important questions about women's access to leisure time amidst these competing demands on their time.
