This book explores time use, time policy, well-being and
sustainable development using concepts and findings from time
policy research, socio-ecological sustainability research,
behavioral economics, consumer research, and research into
prosperity and "the good life". Because any change in time
structures, whether opening or working hours, school or travel
times, has large scale impacts on other times that should ideally
be recognized, the political and social restructure and
negotiations for more effective time policy must include
cross-cutting issues in the relevant sector policies - family,
health, consumer, diet, environment, education, technology,
transport, urban and labor market policy - and develop time policy
strategies and instruments specific to each sector. This book is an
interdisciplinary look into how society and government structure
time policy, the procedural component of and possibility of a
transformation or improvement in time-use, i.e. the "how" of
change, what are transformation processes, how can they be
explained, and how can change processes be ideally shaped? This
book outlines the possibility of a transformation to sustainability
in time policy. It will be of interest to researchers in economics,
social and political science, social policy, government, quality of
life studies, and education.
