Abstract To understand the intrahousehold distribution of calorie, we consider daily calorie consumption and daily calorie expenditure by an individual. This paper uses information obtained from a 24-h recall dietary survey and a time use survey, and a face-to-face questionnaire survey of poor urban individuals in India. We find gender discrimination in the intrahousehold allocation of food and distribution of work over a 24-h period. Combined domestic and market work of a sample wife is 2 h 22 min longer than her husband in a day. The results strongly suggest that wives are overburdened with unpaid household activities, and they are not getting their due share in consumption compared to their husbands. Chronic energy input deficiency is significantly 186.30 kcal points higher in wives than their husbands.

性别、时间使用和食物消费

摘要 为了了解家庭内部的卡路里分布，我们考虑了个人的每日卡路里消耗量和每日卡路里消耗量。本文使用从 24 小时回忆饮食调查和时间使用调查以及印度城市贫困人群面对面问卷调查中获得的信息。我们发现在 24 小时内的家庭内部食物分配和工作分配中存在性别歧视。样本妻子的家庭和市场工作加起来比她丈夫一天多 2 小时 22 分钟。结果强烈表明，妻子因无偿的家务活动而负担过重，与丈夫相比，她们没有得到应有的消费份额。慢性能量输入不足的妻子明显比丈夫高 186.30 大卡点。
