The impact of changes in life-stage on time allocations in Denmark: a panel study 2001-2009

This paper investigates the relation between women and men´s life stages and their time allocation: paid work, household work, childcare and leisure time, and, in particular, how this allocation changes when moving from one stage to another stage. The author uses a new Danish panel dataset merged with Danish administrative register data, which allows for analyzing the impact of individual, endogenous characteristics of the respondents such as preferences for doing specific activities.
