使用从1970年代到今天的七个工业化国家的详细时间使用数据，我们记录了男性市场工作的普遍减少，加上男性无偿工作和儿童护理的增加，以及妇女有偿工作和儿童护理的增加，以及无偿工作的减少。我们还发现，在这段时间里，看电视的时间几乎普遍增加，休闲不平等普遍增加，有利于受教育程度较低的成年人。休闲不平等的趋势反映了这一时期大多数国家收入和收入不平等的普遍加剧，特别是在20世纪80年代中期之后。所有这些发现都与美国之前的结果一致。然而，与美国休闲时间的增加形成对比的是，在分析的这段时间里，我们没有发现各国休闲时间的共同趋势。(C)2012爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
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. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
