这项贡献为时间贫困提供了新的定义，即由于个人的家庭贫困或如果个人将工作时间减少到一定的时间贫困线以下则有陷入贫困的风险，而没有选择地长时间工作。因此，时间匮乏被理解为在考虑了必须花在工作上的时间之后，无论是在劳动力市场、做家务还是进行其他活动（例如取水和木材），缺乏足够的休息和休闲时间。该研究应用传统贫困文献中使用的概念来衡量以这种新方式定义的时间贫困，分析了2002年至2003年几内亚其时间贫困的决定因素。研究发现，在几内亚，女性比男性更有可能出现时间贫困，根据这一新定义，情况更是如此。
This contribution provides a new definition of time poverty as working long hours without choice because an individual's household is poor or would be at risk of falling into poverty if the individual reduced her working hours below a certain time-poverty line. Time poverty is thus understood as the lack of enough time for rest and leisure after accounting for the time that has to be spent working, whether in the labor market, doing domestic work, or performing other activities such as fetching water and wood. The study applies the concepts used in the traditional poverty literature to measure time poverty defined in this new way to analyze its determinants in Guinea from 2002 to 2003. It finds that women are more likely to be time poor than men in Guinea, and even more so according to this new definition.
