In this paper, we follow an epidemiological approach to explore the possible role of culture in determining this reverse gender gap in the time devoted to volunteer activities. To that end, we merge data from the American Time Use Survey for the years 2006–2019 and the Gender Gap Index (GGI) of the World Economic Forum 2021. We use a sample of early-arrival first- and second-generation immigrants who live in the United States. Our empirical approach rests on the fact that all these individuals have grown up under the same host country’s labor market, regulations, laws, and institutions but differ in their cultural heritage. Thus, in this setting, gender discrepancies in the time devoted to volunteer activities can be interpreted as the effect of culture. We find that more gender-equal norms in the country of origin are associated with women devoting less time to volunteer activities relative to men. We further analyze the channels shaping the culture from the country of ancestry and the existence of horizontal (within-communities) transmission of culture. Our results are robust to the use of different subsamples and to the inclusion of demographic and socio-economic controls. 000106658 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2020-114354RA-I00$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S32-20R 000106658 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000106658 590__ $$a3.889$$b2021 000106658 592__ $$a0.664$$b2021 000106658 594__ $$a5.0$$b2021 000106658 591__ $$aENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES$$b57 / 128 = 0.445$$c2021$$dQ2$$eT2 000106658 593__ $$aEnergy Engineering and Power Technology$$c2021$$dQ1 000106658 591__ $$aENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES$$b133 / 279 = 0.477$$c2021$$dQ2$$eT2 000106658 593__ $$aRenewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment$$c2021$$dQ1 000106658 591__ $$aGREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY$$b35 / 47 = 0.745$$c2021$$dQ3$$eT3 000106658 593__ $$aManagement, Monitoring, Policy and Law$$c2021$$dQ1 000106658 591__ $$aGREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY$$b7 / 9 = 0.778$$c2021$$dQ4$$eT3 000106658 593__ $$aGeography, Planning and Development$$c2021$$dQ1 000106658 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000106658 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-1944-4790$$aMarcén Pérez, Miriam$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000106658 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-9957-6613$$aMorales Catalán, Marina$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000106658 7102_ $$14000$$2415$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
