Gender Preference and Child Labour in Indonesia
Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 12
Abstract
This study examines the gender differentials in the time allocation in children activity, and whether son preference explained the differences. The time allocation is separated to hours spent on schooling, hours spent on house work and hours devoted to market work. The tested hypothesis is that the prevalence of son preference indicates that girls have less leisure time compared to the boys. The data are drawn from Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) wave 4 in 2007, implementing the Tobit model on the variables such as children’s hours of work, child’s household’s and community’s characteristics. The findings suggest that the difference between the average numbers of hours worked of the boys and the girls have a statistically differential effect on working and doing housework. In addition, girls aged 5-14 years spend more hours on schooling and doing housework, however boys aged 15-17 years more likely to spend their time on working.
