我们开发了过去106年美国在市场工作，家庭生产，学校教育和休闲方面花费的时间的综合衡量标准。我们发现，黄金年龄段个人的工作时间基本上没有变化，女性工作时间的增加完全弥补了男性工作时间的减少。14至24岁的人的工作时间明显减少，但这一减少的大部分被上学时间的增加所抵消。总的来说，在过去100年里，人均休闲时间和平均每年的终身休闲时间每周只增加了4到5个小时。(JEL D13、J16、J22）
We develop comprehensive measures of time spent in market work, home production, schooling, and leisure in the United States for the last 106 years. We find that hours of work for prime age individuals are essentially unchanged, with the rise in women's hours fully compensating for the decline in men's hours. Hours worked by those 14 to 24 years old have declined noticeably, but most of this decline was offset by a rise in hours spent in school. Overall, per capita leisure and average annual lifetime leisure increased by only four or five hours per week during the last 100 years. (JEL D13, J16, J22)
