El objetivo principal de este artículo es estimar la relación entre trabajo doméstico no remunerado y salarios para parejas heterosexuales en Chile que comparten un hogar. Se usa información sobre el uso del tiempo para el año 2015, y los principales resultados confirman la existencia de una relación negativa entre el tiempo dedicado al trabajo doméstico y el salario para las mujeres, con una estima del 3,7 %. Análisis adicionales revelan que las ocupaciones median la relación entre trabajo doméstico y salarios, mientras que alrededor del 12 % del diferencial salarial entre hombres y mujeres está explicado por el trabajo doméstico no remunerado.

Further analyses reveal that occupations mediate the association between housework and wages, whereas around 12 % of the gender wage gap is explained by the time devoted by women to housework.
