About this title

Synopsis

Are we spending more time at work than we would have 50 years ago? Are we sleeping less? How has the Internet affected the way we use our spare time? Everything we do happens in time and it feels like our lives are busier than ever before. Yet a detailed look at our daily activities reveals some surprising truths about the social and economic structure of the world we live in. This book delves into the unrivaled data collection and expertise of the Centre for Time Use Research to explore fifty-five years of change and what it means for us today.
