Neither market income nor consumption expenditure provides an adequate picture of individual standard of living. It is time which enables and restricts individual activities and is a further brick to a more comprehensive picture of individual wellbeing. In our study we focus on a prominent part of time use in non-market services: it is parental child care which contributes not only to individual but also to societal well-being. Within a novel approach we ask for multidimensional polarization effects of parental child care where compensation/ substitution of time for parental child care versus income is interdependently evaluated by panel estimates of societys subjective well-being. The new interdependent 2DGAP measure thereby provides multidimensional polarization intensity information for the poor and the rich and disentangles the single time and income contribution to subjective well-being ensuring at the same time the interdependence of the polarization dimensions. Socio-economic influences on the polarization pole risk and intensity will be quantified by two stage Heckman estimates. The analyses are based on the German Socio-Economic Panel with 21 waves and robust fixed effects estimates of subjective well-being as well as the German Time Use Surveys 1991/92 and actual 2012/13 with detailed diary time use data. The empirical results discover the interdependent relations between parental child care and income under a common evaluation frame and contribute to the question of dimension specific targeted policies in a multidimensional polarization approach. Prominent result: compensation between parental child care time and income proved to be significant, but there are multidimensional regions with no compensation, where parental child care time deficit is not compensated by income. Interdependent multidimensional polarization by headcount and intensity increased significantly over the twenty years under investigation with remarkable risk and intensity differences between the polarization poles with different disentangled parental child care time and income contributions to subjective well-being.
In dieser Studie wird analysiert, ob die Kinderbetreuungszeit von Eltern in Deutschland über sozioökonomische und soziodemografische und haushalts-strukturelle Eigenschaften hinaus durch psychologische Persönlichkeitsmerkmale (Big Five) erklärt werden kann. Dabei werden innovative mikroökonometrische Methoden auf Deutsche Zeitverwendungsdaten des Soziooekonomischen Panels angewendet und dadurch die Interdependenz der Kinderbereuungszeit mit anderen Zeitverwendungen beider Haushaltspartner sowie die Nicht-Negativität der Merkmalsausprägungen bei der Schätzung simultan berücksichtigt. Dabei kommt heraus, dass die finanzielle Unterstützung als Lohnersatzleistung keinen Effekt auf die mütterliche Kinderbetreuungszeit hat, jedoch auf die väterliche. Die Erwerbstätigkeit von Vätern reduziert die mütterliche Kinderbetreuungszeit. Eine Zeitpolitik, die darauf abzielt die väterliche Zeit für Erwerbstätigkeit zu reduzieren kann somit die Kinderbetreuungszeit für beide Elternteile erhöhen.
