| contents | Time and Income Poverty in the City of Buenos Aires Rania Antonopoulos Valeria Esquivel Thomas Masterson Ajit Zacharias This chapter uses data from Buenos Aires, Argentina to estimate the Levy Institute Measure of Time and Income Poverty (LIMTIP). The LIMTIP integrates time poverty into the income poverty measure by recognizing that the economic welfare of households and persons depends on unpaid care and domestic work as well as paid work. Taking into account poverty-inducing time deficits extends poverty’s prevalence to also include some households whose members are employed and earning “middle class” wages. Many poor households are unable to compensate for their lack of money income due to the gendered distribution of care responsibilities among adults. Almost 20 percent of women who face time deficits do so due to their care responsibilities, even before contemplating devoting time to paid work. Palgrave Macmillan US publication.bookChapter |
