This study paper investigates the relation between women and men's
life stages in Denmark, and their time allocation in paid work,
household work, childcare, and leisure time, and, in particular,
how this allocation changes when moving from one stage to another
stage. The study uses a new Danish panel dataset merged with Danish
administrative register data, which allows for analyzing the impact
of individual endogenous characteristics of the respondents, such
as preferences for doing specific activities. It has been found
that the labor supply of fathers of preschool children is not
different from that of young men without children, while there is a
negative correlation between mothers of preschool children and
young women's labor supply. In comparing fathers and mothers of
school children with those of preschool children, the study finds a
positive correlation in both genders' labor supply. However, fixed
effects estimations do not result in a reduction in mothers, nor in
fathers, to preschool children's labor supply, indicating that
there are some inborn characteristics for the other life-stage
changes, which are not revealed by doing ordinary cross-sectional
analyses.
In parallel with the recent trend towards conducting ever more
surveys, there has also been a decline in response rates, making it
harder to obtain the desired number of completed interviews for
these surveys. Incentives used in surveys, with the aim of
increasing the response rates are manifold, varying from sending
letters in advance and an increasing the number of reminder calls
to pre-interview payments, cash incentives, charitable donations,
and the chance to win lottery prizes. This book examines the impact
of incentives and methods used to increase survey response rates.
This study paper examines parental influence on school children's
everyday activities that are related to a healthy or an unhealthy
lifestyle. The paper is using the Danish Time-Use and Consumption
Survey (DTUC) from 2008/2009 with information on fathers',
mothers', and children's time use. (Series: The Rockwool Foundation
