Time devoted to home and family care on an average day \[THFP^{t} = \frac{THF^{t}}{PHF^{t}}\]where: $THF^{t} =$ minutes dedicated by the population to home and family (domestic chores orcare of people in the household) on an average day in year $t$ $PHF^{t} =$ population in year $t$
Gender parity index in average time on home and family care \[ITHF^{t} = \frac{THFM^{t}}{THFH^{t}}\]where: $THFM^{t} =$ minutes dedicated by the women to home and family (domestic chores orcare of people in the household) on an average day in year $t$ $THFH^{t} =$ minutes dedicated by the men to home and family (domestic chores orcare of people in the household) on an average day in year $t$ |

| Observations |
In the gender parity index, the reference value is 1, representing absolute parity. The further the indicator value is from 1, the greater the degree of inequality; a value above 1 indicates that women devote, on average, more time than men to home and family, while a value below 1 indicates that men devote, on average, more time than women to home and family. |
