Time use-economic approaches

I describe an economic approach to studying time use. The literature has applied this approach to analyzing: differences and changes in work time; the gender division of chores; the determinants of the split of time outside work; differences in time use and time stress by earnings and household income; how the artificial constructs of time zones and summer time affect what people do and when they do it; how and why non-work time is used differently by race, gender and age; and how people would use non-work time if they had more.
