“…These off-setting effects of work during leisure hours could have increased more for workers in some high-paying, non-routine professional occupations, which could have affected work satisfaction differently. Sevilla, Gimenez-Nadal and Gershuny (2012) show decreases in leisure overall in the US between the 1960s and the 2000s, but more so for the highly educated.…”

“…Although Ås (1978) notion of free time is a helpful classificatory principle of activities, the classification of some activities may be disputed. Hence, I will compute more than one measure of leisure, as in for example Aguiar and Hurst (2007) and Sevilla et al (2012). Leisure 1 gathers time spent on social life and entertainment, sports and outdoor activities, hobbies and games, and mass media, which are activities that we cannot pay somebody else to do for us and that are not biological needs.…”

“…Other aspects of leisure such as quantity, quality, inequality, timing, togetherness, or recovery, have been investigated by a large socio-economic and psychological literature interested on behavioral and welfare comparisons. See, among many others, Owen (1971), Juster and Stafford (1985), Kooreman and Kapteyn (1987), Robinson and Godbey (1999), Bittman and Wajcman (2000), Hamermesh (2002), Mattingly and Bianchi (2003), Bittman (2005), Jenkins and Osberg (2005), Kahneman and Krueger (2006), Aguiar and Hurst (2007), Sonnentag et al (2009), and Sevilla et al (2012).…”

The paper collects the results of a survey performed in 2010 aimed at analysing how high school students in the province of Messina in Sicily (Italy) spend their time. Principally, is analyzed the interaction between use of time, scholastic performance and time dedicated to study. So, we propose an estimation model for the daily study-time of students. From a methodological point of view, using a two stage regression procedure to estimate self-rate performance (S rpe ) and time devoted to study (T stu ) allows to correct the estimates by simultaneity effects between these variables. In the first stage, the self-rate performance at school is estimated in a reduced form and is used as a proxy of scholastic performance in the second step. Next, we run an ordinal regression in order to estimate the hours dedicated to study declared by the student. The results obtained show that students with a high expected value of study-time come from lyceum, they are mostly females, and tend to read more. Furthermore, they have satisfactory scholastic performance, are helped by their mothers when they do their homework, have a lower-than-average age difference with their mothers, but a higher-than-average age difference with their fathers.

Using detailed time-use data for seven industrialized countries from the 1970s until today we document general decreases in men's market work coupled with increases in men's unpaid work and child care, and increases in women's paid work and child care coupled with decreases in unpaid work. We also find almost universal increases in the time devoted to watching television over this period, and uncover a widespread increase in leisure inequality in favor of lower educated adults. Trends in leisure inequality mirror the general increase in income and earnings inequality experienced in most countries over this period, especially after the mid-1980s. All these findings are consistent with previous results for the US. However, in contrast to the increases in leisure found for the US, we fail to find common trends in leisure time across countries over the period analyzed.JEL Classification: D12, D13, J2
