<p>The study analyzes gender disparities in time spent on various daily activities for Indian adolescents across family backgrounds. The analysis shows that gender disparity in adolescent time use in India follows the traditional gender norms related to the segregation of work where the girls are overburdened with unpaid work. Although higher education of the family head and better economic status reduce this gap, the gap is not eliminated even in the most affluent families. Moreover, girls from the socially deprived castes are doubly disadvantaged as the disparity is greater for them than for others. We consider the presence of working women in the family to study the effect of socialization. Among low economic classes, the gender gap in paid work is lower for families with working women, indicating the demonstration effect. However, the gender gap in unpaid work is not lowered, and affluent families with working women show a greater gender gap in unpaid work than those without them.</p>
