Item Restricted Till housework do us part: the effects of a preference for fairness in the division of housework(2002-03-25) Robiso, Karen Ross Dela Torre; Alonzo, RupertoI explore the effects of a preference for fairness in the division of housework between two spouses in two different models of household time allocation. Both in the model with agreeing spouses and the model with noncooperative spouses, such preferences have an equalizing effect on the division of labor between the husband and the wife. In the noncooperative setting, the wife gets better off and the husband worse off in terms of private consumption. I also argue that factors, such as the allocation process and the degree of fairness consideration, matter for policy outcomes. I discuss few policy measures in relation to these two factors.
