Abstract
The aim of the chapter is to analyze home production of women and men by age for Uruguay using a Time Use Survey carried out in 2013. We begin by introducing the main gendered socio-economic traits of the country, focusing on the demographic transition and gender differences in educational and labor market outcomes. Then, we describe the source of information and the main procedures used to estimate the data. Finally we present and analyze our findings that encompass four issues: (a) an overall picture of home production profile by age showing the gaps between women and men, (b) an analysis of the profiles of household services consumption and net time transfers by age and sex; c) an analysis of the age profile of gender gap by educational level and, (c) a study of the gender gap by household type.

There are no Household Satellite Accounts in the Uruguay National Accounts System. The estimate mentioned is done for this study by multiplying the average NTTA estimation (by age and sex) by the official population estimate.
