ABSTRACT:
In this article women's and men's leisure time were examined using the 1981 Study of Time Use (Juster, Hill, Stafford, & Parsons, 1983). Gender differences in total leisure time, types of leisure activities, and the effects of household labor time and paid labor time on women's and men's leisure time were assessed. Although there were few significant differences in women's and men's leisure time expenditures, some differences in the determinants of leisure were found. Although household labor time affects women's and men's leisure time in the same way, the impact of paid labor time on leisure time varies by gender and by type of leisure. Paid labor time has a stronger effect on women's nondomestic leisure time than on men's, whereas the reverse is true for domestic leisure time. The different types of leisure activities in which women and men engage, and their different time expenditures for paid work and housework, combined to produce these different patterns of effects.
