在试图理解当代工作-休闲悖论的过程中，我们去寻找今天受折磨的有闲阶级和它的平静的对应者。我们应用相对较新的方法，最佳匹配的连续时间使用数据的汇集佛兰德时间使用调查的1999年和2004年，以确定不同的时间使用模式的基础上，一个人的休闲时间消费。然后，我们分析这些时间使用模式相结合的多重分类分析与社会人口统计措施和（休闲）时间使用的特点，这使我们能够确定今天的困扰休闲类一方面相反的“平静的休闲类”的另一方面。结果表明，当今忙碌的有闲阶级联合收割机成员将大量的文化和物质资源与时间压力和贪婪多变的闲暇时间消费体验相结合，而平静的有闲阶级成员则主要在电视机前消费闲暇时间。根据这些群体的消费特征对他们进行类型化，为将时间利用纳入消费政策研究领域提供了有益的证据。
In trying to understand the contemporary work-leisure paradoxes, we go in search for today's harried leisure class and its equanimous counterpart. We apply the relative new method of optimal matching on the continuous time-use data of the pooled Flemish time-use survey of 1999 and 2004, in order to identify different time-use patterns based on one's leisure time consumption. We then analyse these time-use patterns by combining a multiple classification analysis with socio-demographic measures and ( leisure) time-use characteristics, which allows us to identify today's harried leisure class on the one hand the opposite "equanimous leisure class" on the other hand. It turns out that the members of today's harried leisure class combine a great amount of cultural and material resources with the experience of time pressure and voracious and volatile leisure time consumption, whereas the members of the equanimous leisure class mainly consume their leisure time in front of the TV. Typifying these groups based on their consumption characteristics provides useful evidence for the integration of time use in the research field of consumer policy.
