Time use of husbands and wives in dual-earner family and single-earner family

本研究考察了双职工家庭和单职工家庭夫妻的时间使用情况。主要研究结果如下：(1)考察了同一家庭中所有10岁及以上家庭成员从事无偿工作的时间。这些分析基于2001年日本政府进行的时间利用和休闲活动调查的数据。双职工家庭的女性父母比单职工家庭的父母在无偿工作上花费的时间更多。双职工家庭的丈夫和子女不一定比单职工家庭的丈夫和子女花在无偿工作上的时间更多。(2)对加拿大和日本的睡眠状况进行了对比分析。这些分析基于日本政府1991年进行的时间利用和休闲活动调查数据和加拿大政府进行的1992年综合社会调查数据。在日本，丈夫的睡眠时间比妻子长。相反，在加拿大，妻子的睡眠时间比丈夫长。日本的妻子比丈夫早起，加拿大的丈夫比妻子早起。(3)调查了同一家庭中丈夫和妻子的睡眠时间。这些分析基于2001年日本政府进行的时间利用和休闲活动调查的数据。2001年，在日本，丈夫的睡眠时间仍然比妻子长。受雇丈夫在起床一小时后的两个小时内花在家务上的时间为两分钟。

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.
