A healthy work-life balance has become increasingly important to
people trying to cope with the pressures of contemporary society.
This trend highlights the fallacy of assessing well-being in terms
of finance alone; how much time we have matters just as much as how
much money. The authors of this book have developed a novel way to
measure 'discretionary time': time which is free to spend as one
pleases. Exploring data from the US, Australia, Germany, France,
Sweden and Finland, they show that temporal autonomy varies
substantially across different countries and under different living
conditions. By calibrating how much control people have over their
time, and how much they could have under alternative welfare,
gender or household arrangements, this book offers a new
perspective for comparative cross-national enquiries into the
temporal aspects of human welfare.
