We attempted to compare the three nations by implementing time-use surveys using the same survey methods. However, the case research was implemented in Japan due to the budget of the survey.
As the result, a clear division of labor by gender was observed in both countries : Men spent more time on paid work than women did, while women spent more time on unpaid work such as housework and child care than men did. They had different characteristics in paid work and unpaid work from Japan : The time spent on paid work by women in Indonesia and Thailand was longer than that of Japanese women. Women in both countries participated in social and economic activities, however, these activities tended to be small productive activities as an extension of housework or many of them participated in informal labor. The time spent on unpaid work by men in Indonesia and Thailand was longer than that of Japanese men. It was clear that the contents of unpaid work had a trend by gender and many of men in both countries participated in community activities as unpaid work, while many of women participated in activities related to housework.
The part of the result of the survey was presented in International Association for Time Use Research conference held in Denmark in August 2006. Less
