Abstract:This paper uses data from a national-wide sample survey among Chinese academic and research professionals in 2011 to examine the relationships between gender, marital status and the time allocation among university faculty in China. The study finds that: firstly, there are gender differences in total working time, research time, teaching time, and housework time; secondly, marital status affects neither working time, nor the gender differences in working time; thirdly, marital status not only impacts housework time and leisure time, but also strengthens the gender differences in housework time. These findings implicate that the shortage of working time of the female faculty should not be simply attributed to marriage and family. More important factors should be explored.
