Gender-Age Profiles in Transfers: NTTA & NTA Estimations

This workshop explores Transfer and Asset-based Age Profiles by Gender, focusing on NTTA and NTA methodologies. Topics include private transfers, estimation strategies, and sensitivity tests. Participants will analyze interhousehold and intrahousehold transfers, along with asset-based profiles, to understand their implications on economic assessments. The session also covers estimation strategies for various age- and sex-specific profiles within the NTA framework. Join this informative workshop on gender-based transfers and asset profiles.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Transfers and Asset-based Age Profiles by Gender Gretchen Donehower NTA Time Use and Gender Workshop Tuesday, October 23, 2012 Facultad de Ciencias Sociales, Universidad de la República Montevideo, Uruguay

  2. Outline • NTTA • What other age- and sex-specific profiles are there in NTTA? • Estimating private transfers in NTTA • NTA • What other age- and sex-specific profiles are there in NTA? • Estimation strategy • Sensitivity testing

  3. NTTA – what other profiles to estimate? • For NTTA, only have private transfers • No asset income • Household production does have an asset income component - the flow of services from consumer durables - but very hard to estimate • No saving or dissaving • Time cannot be saved as an asset, or borrowed against the future • No public transfers??? • Not sure about compulsory public service (jury duty, military service, prison) so not included for now.

  4. Private Transfers in NTTA - Interhousehold • Recall from the spreadsheet example that interhousehold transfers (between households) come from care variables where the recipient is outside of the household. • Interhousehold outflow is same as production age profile for care of those outside of the household • Interhousehold inflow is the same as the allocated consumption of care for those outside of the household (per capita within target age group)

  5. Private Transfers in NTTA - Intrahousehold • Intrahousehold transfers (within households) are the same as production and consumption, minus two types of time: • care for those outside of the household • time produced which is consumed by the same person who produced it • See simplified spreadsheet example

  6. NTA – what other profiles to estimate? • All of them…

  7. NTA – Estimation strategy for other profiles • Strategy for transfers and asset-based is the same as for lifecycle deficit variables: • Apply the usual NTA method • Instead of age-specific means, calculate age- and sex-specific means instead • Adjust the age- and sex- profiles so they are consistent with the single-sex profiles

  8. NTA - Sensitivity Tests • NTA headship assumptions have huge impact on asset-based reallocations and private transfers • Only heads can own assets, receive asset income, go into debt • Only heads can make and receive interhousehold transfers • Only heads can make intrahousehold transfers based on asset income, sale of assets, or going into debt • Examine results under alternative headship definition (work in progress) • Highest wage-earner in household • Owner or renter of dwelling • Proportional to wages • Equal for all adults in household
