“…Due to disadvantages in labor market, women tend to be homeworkers and spend more energy and time domestic work (30,31,(35)(36)(37). In this context, substantial literature about intra-household division of labor has shown that females tend to devote more time to household chores (3,(38)(39)(40). Ding and Chen (38) investigated the distribution of domestic activity time of rural inhabitants from poor areas in China.…”

This paper aims to study the gender inequality in the health impacts of energy poverty. Using the Chinese Family Panel Studies (CFPS) 2018 data, we examine the gender heterogeneous effects of energy poverty on residents' health. The empirical results indicate that energy poverty would increase the ratio of respiratory disease, hospitalization as well as the healthcare expenditure. The effects are moderated by housework time. Moreover, we explore the gender inequality of the health impacts and find that women's health is more severely impaired and the effect of gender inequality is heterogeneous between urban and rural areas. We further investigate the historical origins of intra-household division of labor and reveal that the root of gender inequality in the health effects of energy poverty is status inequality. The government should give the first priority to energy poverty alleviation through modern energy network construction. Providing the energy-deprived families with ventilation equipment and medical insurance should be considered as the next step. Finally, it is imperative to eradicate urban-rural dual structure and legislate to ensure gender equality in the whole society.

“…Hierdoor zouden hoogopgeleiden nu juist minder vrije tijd hebben (o.a. Giménez-Nadal & Sevilla, 2012). Waar de 'leisure class' vroeger dus relatief hoog opgeleid was, zijn het sinds enkele decennia juist de lageropgeleiden die veel vrije tijd hebben.…”

“…Gershuny focust in zijn werk primair op de verhouding betaald werk/vrije tijd en niet op onbetaalde arbeid. Dat de totale werklast van hoogopgeleiden groter is dan die van lageropgeleiden blijkt, gebaseerd op internationaal onderzoek, vooral uit het feit dat zij minder vrije tijd hebben (Gershuny, 2000;Aguiar & Hurst, 2009;Giménez-Nadal & Sevilla, 2012. Dat komt (gebaseerd op studies naar specifieke typen tijdsbesteding) doordat hoger opgeleiden meer uren betaald werken en meer tijd aan de zorg voor kinderen besteden dan laagopgeleiden (Craig, 2006;Guryan et al, 2008;Altintas, 2015).…”

Busyness on the eve of the participation society. Social differences and trends in total time spent on paid and unpaid work in the Netherlands. Busyness on the eve of the participation society. Social differences and trends in total time spent on paid and unpaid work in the Netherlands. The Dutch government asks citizens to be involved in multiple domains in society, such as the labor market, in the care for others and in voluntary work. This often has to be combined with domestic labor and the care for children. In this study, we look at social differences and trends in the 'total workload', the sum of paid and unpaid work, including informal care for others and volunteering. Based on multivariate OLS models on the Dutch Time Use Surveys (1980-2011) we find that men have a higher total workload than women, especially in families with young children. The gap between men and women has increased since 1980. Moreover, we find that the highly educated have a higher workload than the lower educated since 1990-1995, whereas this was the other way around in the 80's.

Changes in sleep duration and recreational screen time among Canadians, 1998–2010

It is commonly claimed that sleep duration has declined in recent years - over a period coinciding with a marked increase in personal electronics and communications use. The aim of this study was to assess change in sleep duration among Canadians from 1998 to 2010, and examine any associations with non-work-related screen time. The analysis uses population-representative data from Statistics Canada's General Social Survey cycles of 1998 and 2010; the respective samples numbered 10 749 and 15 390 individuals. Response rates were 80% in 1998 and 55% in 2010. Respondents were aged 15 years and older, residing in private households in the 10 Canadian provinces. The General Social Survey is administered by computer-assisted telephone interviewing. Data on sleep duration (excluding naps outside essential sleep time) and recreational screen time were obtained using a 24-h time-use diary. Survey weights were applied to adjust for non-response and non-landline households. Frequencies (respondent characteristics) and averages (time-use variables) were estimated by age group and sex. Sleep duration was examined by weighted quartile of screen time. Confidence intervals (95%) were calculated around estimates. Average sleep duration increased from 8.1 h in 1998 to 8.3 h in 2010. Average screen time increased from 140 min in 1998 to 154 min in 2010. Sleep duration and screen time were positively related in both years. The percentage of people averaging less than 6 h sleep decreased from 9.6% in 1998 to 8.6% in 2010. Between 1998 and 2010, increases in screen time did not occur at the expense of sleep duration.
