Abstract
⺠We examine trends in the time allocation of married couples. ⺠We focus on changes in the gender earnings gap and the cost of home appliances. ⺠The closing of the gender earnings gap drives the rise in female work participation. ⺠The cost of appliances drives changes in the time allocation outside of work. ⺠Thus, both explanations are needed to understand trends in the time allocation.
