Overview

This study identifies gender- and age-specific production patterns. The book examines the combination of time use data, input-output analysis, and material balances which allow for the simultaneous consideration of women's and men's working time and their contributions to GDP, household production, and CO2 emissions. It also foresees the gender- and age-specific analysis of the demand side, where a model separates women's and men's consumption of market and non-market goods and services. The identification of genders' production and consumption patterns enables the modeling of gender-linkages. Thus, the study shows, for example, to which extent women benefit from women's or men's work. While men's roles are strong regarding highly acknowledged paid work, the provision of private non-market services heavily relies on women's work. To balance the distribution of work, the study finally introduces the concept of a 'Desired World, ' which accounts for a desired reduction of paid working time and foresees a higher recognition of unpaid work. Thus, women's role with regard to paid work and men's participation in the field of unpaid work can be strengthened
