- Abstract
This paper analyzes the differences of wage and time allocation between married and single individuals in Brazil in order to understand how marriage is associated with the wage distribution, the hours of work and the time spent in domestic labor of men and women. For that purpose, we use data from the National Household Sample Survey (PNAD) for the year 2015 and we employ three different estimation methods for complex surveys: ordinary least squares, Propensity Score Weighting, and Propensity Score Matching. The results indicate that married men have higher wage and work hours than single men, whereas married women increase their likelihood of performing domestic labor, as well as the hours spent in such activities. We also find evidence that the time allocation between men and women is affected by the comparative advantage of the couple.
