摘要：This paper investigates the impact of online food delivery platforms on housework and employment by leveraging a unique quasi-experiment. We find that the introduction of such services into a city led to a significant reduction in the time spent on housework, particularly among women. Household consumption expenditures on food increased, as a substitution for labor. Furthermore, our findings demonstrate positive effects on narrowing the gender gap in labor supply and well-being. Our paper offers insights and implications for optimizing the allocation of resources between households and society
