A Gendered Analysis of ‘Time Poverty’ – The Importance of Infrastructure.

Abstract

This paper uses a combination of nationally representative individual level time use data\ncombined with household and community data to further our understanding of time use,\nand how infrastructure impacts on gender disaggregated time poverty. With a common,\nand growing, perception in the empirical literature being that Sub Saharan African\nfemales are typically disadvantaged in market based activities because of the large time\nburden of having to undertake both formal work and domestic duties, it is important to\nunderstand some of these key processes and issues that underpin, and link with, poverty\nreduction. Using nationally representative from Lesotho we are able to provide unique\ninsights into gender related, formal and informal, work allocations and specifically obtain\ninsights regarding the main determinants of those who are 'time poor' and how key\ninfrastructural elements impact on this.
