This research provides an analysis of the unequal distribution of domestic work and its determinants among mothers who are heads of household and mothers who are wives of the householder. This paper analyzes, what is the difference in the hours of domestic work between wives and fema- le householders? What are the socio-demographic determinants of these differences? And, whether type of occupation has an impact on domestic workload? We use time-use data to compare the number of hours of do- mestic work of wives and householders. First, we find that domestic wor- kload is four hours greater for wives than for householders; second, some of the most important determinants of domestic workload are age, type of occupation, and working conditions.
