福利国家以许多不同的方式促进人们的福祉。将这些贡献置于一个共同的衡量标准之下的一种方法是“时间的自由”：在日常生活的必需品之外，自由地度过自己的时间。使用1999-2000年芬兰时间使用调查，我们提出了操作的方式，是“严格必要的”，花在有偿劳动，无偿家务劳动和个人护理的时间;剩余的，“自由裁量时间”，代表人们的时间自主权。我们衡量了芬兰税收、转移支付和儿童保育补贴的影响。在这样做的过程中，我们以符合人们日常生活现实的方式，校准芬兰北欧福利制度及其对女性友好的性别制度的贡献。
Welfare states contribute to people's well-being in many different ways. One way of bringing those contributions under a common metric is in terms of ‘temporal autonomy’: the freedom to spend one's time as one will, outside the necessities of daily life. Using the 1999–2000 Finnish Time Use Survey, we propose ways of operationalising the time that is ‘strictly necessary’ to spend in paid labour, unpaid household labour and personal care; the residual, ‘discretionary time’, represents people's temporal autonomy. We measure the impact on that of Finnish taxes, transfers and child care subsidies. In so doing, we calibrate the contributions of Finland's Nordic welfare regime and of its female-friendly gender regime, in ways that correspond to the lived reality of people's daily lives.
