This two-volume handbook, written by leading international scholars, provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference work on the collection, analysis, and application of time use data.

Time is a crucial yet finite social resource, fundamental to processes of growth, equality, and well-being. Much of the world’s essential production—raising children, preparing food, household maintenance—occurs within households, and relies on time, rather than monetary exchange, as its central input. Despite its centrality, this non-market dimension is often overlooked in official indicators. Time use diary data is increasingly recognised as the foremost source of reliable information on these key temporal dimensions of daily life.

The second volume provides an authoritative outline of the contribution of time-use research to key contemporary scholarly and policy applications in both the Global North and the Global South. The chapters consist of a wide-ranging selection of exemplary contributions chosen to illustrate the varied areas of substantive empirical research for which time use diary data has been used in research across the globe, including gender and life-course studies, research on employment and the labour force, care-giving, and contributions to the measurement of both population wellbeing and sustainable development goals.

With a focus on the application and future directions of time use research, it will be a valuable point of reference for students and scholars from fields including sociology, demography, social policy, economics, gender studies, psychology, leisure and tourism studies, public health, and legal studies. The first volume of the handbook addresses methodological issues concerning the collection and analysis of data, and is available at www.routledge.com/9781041123934.

Arvustused

"This remarkable two-volume handbook demonstrates the unique value of time use data for addressing todays most pressing social and policy challengesfrom gender equality and care to health, energy, leisure, work and economic well-being. It combines methodological rigor with breadth of application. By bringing together leading voices from around the world, it solidifies the importance of time use research for evidence-based policymaking. I hope it serves as a catalyst for new generations of research and action."

Ugo Lachapelle, President of the International Association of Time Use Research (IATUR) and Full Professor, Department of Urban Studies and Tourism, Université du Québec à Montréal, Canada
