ABSTRACT

This study aims to find out gender differences in leisure by examining the relationship between time and time use satisfaction(TUS) for each leisure type. As a result of analysing the Korean Time Use Survey, sports/leports and rest for men and hobbies and leisure learning for women showed a positive correlation with TUS, and for women, the more diverse the leisure types, the higher the TUS. I found that the gender norms imposed on women reduced their leisure time as well as their satisfaction, and that women’s labour market participation significantly constrained the quantity and quality of leisure compared to men. Gender differences in leisure are explained by resource availability, and women's leisure activities are more influenced by time resources and men’s financial resources. The nonlinear relationship between leisure repertoire or time and satisfaction shows gender differences in the combination of leisure diversity and time that increase the positive influence of leisure.

摘要

本研究旨在通过检验每种休闲类型的时间与时间使用满意度 (TUS) 之间的关系，找出休闲中的性别差异。根据韩国时间使用调查的分析结果，男性的运动/休闲和休息以及女性的爱好和休闲学习与 TUS 呈正相关，对于女性而言，休闲类型越多样化，TUS 越高。我发现强加给女性的性别规范减少了她们的闲暇时间和她们的满意度，而且与男性相比，女性的劳动力市场参与显着限制了闲暇的数量和质量。休闲方面的性别差异可以用资源可用性来解释，女性的休闲活动更多地受到时间资源和男性经济资源的影响。
