GENDER AND TIME USE IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT GEBUNDEN

This edited volume uses a feminist approach to explore the economic implications of the complex
interrelationship between gender and time use. Household composition  sexuality  migration
patterns  income levels  and race ethnicity are all considered as important factors that
interact with gender and time use patterns. The book is split in two sections: The
macroeconomic portion explores cutting edge issues such as time poverty and its relationship to
income poverty  and the macroeconomic effects of recession and austerity  while the
microeconomic section studies topics such as differences by age  activity sequencing  and
subjective well-being of time spent. The chapters also examine a range of age groups  from the
labor of school-age children to elderly caregivers  and analyze time use in Argentina 
Australia  Canada  China  Finland  India  Korea  South Africa  Tanzania  Turkey  and the United
States. Each chapter provides a substantial introduction to the academic literature of its
focus and is written to be revealing to researchers and accessible to students and
policymakers.
