Evaluating a Policy Change on Household Time Allocation
A two-person household model assumes a total of 48 hours available per day, with 14 of those hours required for mandatory, unpaid domestic work. The remaining time is allocated between paid work and non-working (leisure) activities. A new government policy provides a childcare subsidy that effectively reduces the household's mandatory unpaid domestic work requirement to 10 hours per day. Critically evaluate how this policy change might alter the household's decision-making regarding the allocation of their time. Discuss the potential effects on both their hours of paid work and their hours of non-working time, explaining the new trade-off they face.
