For example, higher bargaining power, as proxied by larger age gap, positively affects the amount of time that husbands spend on market work and that wives spend on household work. It has no effect on time spent by husbands on household work or wives on market work. On the other hand, the education gap proxy seems to negatively affect the amount of time husbands spend on household and care work, positively affect both the wife's and husband's time spent on market work, and does not significantly affect the time spent by the wife on household work. This suggests that die household division of labour and in particular women's household and care work time may not be subject to negotiation.
