註釋

Little is known about how women in urban environments in developing countries allocate their time. A simultaneous tobit model of hours in market work and home work, incorporating jointness in decisions regarding time in these activities and allowing for non-participation in either activity, is estimated on a sample of women from Conakry, Guinea. The results indicate that years of formal schooling has non-linear effects on women's market labor supply, becoming positive only around completion of primary school. As in rural areas, infrastructural factors such as transportation costs and access to electricity have substantial impacts on female time in home and market activities.
