Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to analyze the determinants of the gender differences observed in Spain using a micro-founded model of the labor market. Through the analysis of the evolution of several variables affecting the household´s optimal choices of leisure, market work and home work, it is possible to offer a concise and clear understanding about the time allocation of the individuals. Furthermore, I forecast the evolution of the household´s time allocation under different possible scenarios. For this purpose, I will solve the non-linear system of equations of the model using MatLab. The parameter calibration will adapt to the specific characteristics and working hours of the job market in Spain. Finally, I will run three different simulations to try to explain the evolution of both female and male labor supply.
