Unbezahlte Arbeit: Hausarbeit, Kinderbetreuung und Pflege

Frauen werden in der Debatte um einen Fachkräftemangel häufig als «ungenutztes Arbeitskräftepotenzial» charakterisiert. Da Frauen weniger häufig und zu weniger Stunden auf dem formalen Arbeitsmarkt eingebunden sind, wird oft eine stärkere Präsenz auf dem formalen Arbeitsmarkt gefordert.

In this study, we examined the relationship between ...
