title = "Unpaid Care Work Inequality and Women{\textquoteright}s Employment Outcomes in Senegal",
abstract = "Women around the world bear a larger share of unpaid care work than men. Such inequality hinders their opportunities in the paid labour market. This chapter explores the determinants of the inequality in unpaid care work that women face within their household. The chapter also examines the effects of unpaid care work inequality on women{\textquoteright}s employment outcomes using the Survey of Monitoring Poverty in Senegal, conducted in 2011. The results show that the socio-economic characteristics of women are important determinants of the unpaid care work inequality they face within their household. Such inequality has consequences on women{\textquoteright}s employment outcomes. Women facing higher inequality in unpaid care work are less likely to get involved in paid work, to be formally employed and obtain a full-time job. These findings suggest that there is a need for addressing the unequal distribution of unpaid care work between men and women in order to realize the fifth Sustainable Development Goal by 2030.",
