Abstract
Abstract A model of household behaviour is used to test some postulates concerning the effects of market and non-market roles of urban and rural women on child care and breastfeeding. The paper analyses the determinants of total child care time for pre-school children and explores the allocative effects and intra-household substitutions which took place. This is used to explain casual relationships behind rural-urban variations in breastfeeding behaviour. The results suggest the significance of income, education, job compatibility, household demographic structure and point to human capital change as a relevant policy parameter.
