20.500.12556/RUL-174520 Lifecycle analysis of the gender gap in paid and unpaid work by household structure The paper provides new insights into men and women’s lifetime contributions to the overall economy and societal well-being, taking both market and non-market activities into account. It extends the National Transfer Accounts (NTA) and National Time Transfer Accounts (NTTA) methodologies by including household structure – specifically, partnership and parenthood status – in the analysis. Using Spain as a case study, the results reveal the need to consider family characteristics to fully understand gendered patterns of economic production. Three synthetic indicators are defined that permit new insights concerning the well-documented gender gap. Interestingly, this gap is already present in singles (single women spend more time doing housework), reinforced in childless couples (by the division of labour) and most apparent when children are present. Visible in the indicator of family generosity, the latter dimension also shows the existence of a sizeable ‘parenthood gap’. Addressing both gaps is particularly urgent in the context of accelerated population ageing given the potential implications it holds for fertility, care provision, and intergenerational support. demography national accounts family national transfer accounts intergenerational transfers unpaid work gender demografija družbeni računi neplačano delo spol družina true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-10-03 13:24:30 2025-10-03 13:35:44 2026-06-17 04:10:52 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 19 str. art. 100597 Vol. 32 Dec. 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 314 2212-828X 10.1016/j.jeoa.2025.100597 250161923 1-s2.0-S2212828X25000520-main.pdf 1-s2.0-S2212828X25000520-main.pdf 1 FC3562DFCC7D85F5A7EEF04954F4DCE7 b8ed9daae5214c14bbc6dea3763583c8be9453503428333220143858e6976283 fcf066c7-695c-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=235727 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212828X25000520 0 9da13ffe-a04c-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=219346 Ekonomska fakulteta 0 0 0
