雙薪家庭夫妻生產活動分工與通勤時間Division of Labor and Commuting Time in Dual-Income Families

本文使用華人家庭動態資料庫(PSFD)，探討雙薪家庭夫妻在工作及家務生產活動之時間分配與通勤時間的關係。結果發現，性別規範所塑造的家庭分工型態顯著影響雙薪家庭男女的通勤時間。此外，夫妻在家務勞動與工作勞動兩種家庭生產活動的時間分配越接近，夫妻之間通勤時間差距越小。第三，夫妻的相對收入與是否育有子女具有調節效果，會影響時間分配對通勤時間差距的作用。當妻子收入高於丈夫時，相近的工作時間更易促成相近的通勤時間；而在有子女的家庭中，即使夫妻在家務時間上存在差異，通勤時間仍傾向相對接近。

Using the Panel Study of Family Dynamics (PSFD), this paper examines how time allocation in work and household activities affects commuting time among dual-earner couples. The results show that gender norms in household labor significantly impact commuting times. Couples with similar time spent on work and household activities tend to have smaller differences in commuting time. Moreover, relative income and the presence of children influence this relationship. When the wife’s income exceeds the husband’s and work hours are similar, the likelihood of similar commuting times increases. In households with children, even with a larger gap in household labor, commuting times are still more likely to be similar.
