| Deskribapena: | In Costa Rica, more than one third of rural households have a woman as head of household; most of them must join the labor market, with limited levels of schooling, to low-skill and low pay jobs, in order to provide economic support for their home. Although today a greater participation of women in rural economic activities is recognized, data from the National Survey of Time Use (2017) show that, by a wide margin, they continue to bear the greatest burden of unpaid domestic work. Precisely, the objective of this article is to make known, through concrete data, the reality of rural women heads of household in terms of the way in which they distribute their time in paid and unpaid work activities, as well as to quantify their position with respect to rural men heads of household. |
