We find that a dramatic increase in leisure time lies behind the relatively stable number of market hours worked between 1965 and 2003. Specifically, using a variety of definitions for leisure, we show that leisure for men increased by roughly six to nine hours per week (driven by a decline in market work hours) and for women by roughly four to eight hours per week (driven by a decline in home production work hours). Lastly, we document a growing inequality in leisure that is the mirror image of the growing inequality of wages and expenditures, making welfare calculation based solely on the latter series incomplete.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Source: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/qje\/article-abstract\/122\/3\/969\/1879557?redirectedFrom=fulltext&amp;login=false\">Measuring Trends in Leisure: The Allocation of Time Over Five Decades* | The Quarterly Journal of Economics | Oxford Academic<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>459 citations, so is presumably considered solid.
