Time use and household welfare in a structurally changing society: the case of Ghana
Abstract
The authors use 3 rounds of a nationally representative household socio-economic survey to analyse the dynamics of time use for housework among different groups of household members to find out how time commitments to housework influences household welfare measured as consumption poverty. Means and proportions are used by the study to investigate the average time used by different sub-groups in our study on different housework activities. In addition, Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression approaches in the panel framework is also relied on to examine the factors which drive time use for housework and how time poverty influences consumption poverty.
This work is part of the Structural Transformation and Economic Growth (STEG) programme.
