Title: Multitasking
Abstract: This paper reviews economic studies on multitasking in household<br/>production. Whereas multitasking or task juggling in the workplace has<br/>been analyzed more widely, economic literature on multitasking in a<br/>household is relatively scarce. The chapter first provides relevant<br/>measures of such multitasking activities, discusses time diary data, and<br/>presents some empirical facts employing Harmonized European Time Use<br/>Survey data. It then reviews theoretical and empirical contributions to<br/>this topic, focusing on childcare, food consumption, and remote work. It<br/>also reviews the determinants of multitasking and identifies the factors<br/>that are more likely to affect these activities. In addition, it<br/>discusses multitasking by certain groups, such as ethnic minorities and<br/>children. Finally, it offers policy implications and suggestions for<br/>future research. <br/>
