ABSTRACT
We study prevalence of son preference in families of East and South Asian origin living in the U.S. by investigating parental time investments in children using American Time Use Surveys. Estimates show that East and South Asian mothers spend an additional hour of quality time per day with their young (aged 0-2 years) sons than with young daughters; son-preference in mothers' time allocation declines as children get older. East and South Asian fathers' time with young children is gender neutral. We find gender specialization in time with children aged 6-17 with fathers spending more time with sons and mothers spending more time with daughters.
