Equally important is the level of development of the economy, as it affects not only the duration, but also the distribution, of time between paid/unpaid work and the allocation of unpaid time among a variety of activities. In wealthier countries, larger segments of the population have access to paid jobs. Among those that work part-time or not at all, as one would expect, more time is devoted to subsistence production or fetching wood, for example. Finally, public sector infrastructure and state provisioning regimes determine social service delivery, which in itself plays a role in the specific allocation of time among a variety of unpaid tasks. Universal free access to health services, child and elder care, and water delivery to one’s doorstep reduces the amount of time needed for taking care of family/household members at home or gathering and transporting water, for instance.
