This research examined time use of husbands and wives in dual-earner family and single-earner family. The main results are as follows.(1)Time devoted to unpaid work by all family members aged 10 years and over in the same household was examined. These analyses were based on data of 2001 Survey on Time Use and Leisure Activities conducted by Japanese government. Female parents in dual-earner families devoted more time to unpaid work than those in single-earner families. Husbands and children in dual-earner families did not necessarily spent more time on unpaid work than those in single-earner families.(2)The comparative analyses of sleep between Canada and Japan were conducted. These analyses were based on data of 1991 Survey on Time Use and Leisure Activities conducted by Japanese government and data of 1992 General Social Survey conducted by Canadian government. In Japan, husbands slept longer than wives. In Canada, on the contrary, wives slept longer than husbands. Wives got up earlier than husbands in Japan and husbands got up earlier than wives in Canada.(3)Hours of sleep of husbands and wives in the same household were examined. These analyses were based on data of 2001 Survey on Time Use and Leisure Activities conducted by Japanese government. In 2001, husbands still slept longer than wives in Japan. The amount of time spent on housework during two hours after the hour of rising by employed husbands was two minutes.
