The first line of research analyzes how social norms can influence the time allocation decisions of individuals, which in turn may influence life decisions such as partnership formation, especially in countries with more traditional gender norms regarding the distribution of household chores. The second line of investigation analyzes how, to the extent that female workers want to balance their work and family responsibilities, female workers may choose to be self-employed in order to have greater flexibility in their schedules and, thus, to improve the balance between work and family life. Finally, the third line of investigation analyzes the different factors that influence the time devoted to household production, focusing on the effects of the race (skin colour) of the individual, and of racial discrimination in marriage markets. This thesis constitutes a complete study of 3 subjects, integrated within the literature of economics of the family, and complements previous studies on time-allocation decisions and household behaviour. 000005728 6531_ $$aHousehold work 000005728 6531_ $$asocial norms 000005728 6531_ $$agender 000005728 6531_ $$aracial discrimination 000005728 700__ $$aMolina Chueca, José Alberto$$edir. 000005728 7102_ $$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bAnálisis Económico 000005728 8560_ $$fzaguan@unizar.es 000005728 8564_ $$s1254341$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/5728/files/TESIS-2011-015.pdf$$zTexto completo (eng) 000005728 909CO $$ooai:zaguan.unizar.es:5728 000005728 909co $$ptesis 000005728 909CO $$pdriver 000005728 9102_ $$aEconomía aplicada$$bAnálisis Económico 000005728 980__ $$aTESIS
