Summary

This study examines the effects of basic income on housework time among married couples in South Korea. The results show that without basic income, Korean women tend to spend more time on housework as their economic bargaining power decreases, while women earning more than their husbands do not reduce housework time. With basic income, there were no changes in the factors associated with women’s housework, but husbands no longer exhibited gendered patterns in time allocation to housework.
