Description
This facts sheet examines the ways in which men and women balance their time at different stages of their life, focusing on paid work, child care and house work, volunteering, and spending time with family and friends. It highlights how time commitments vary over the life course, and how families can face time pressure from these competing demands on their time. This facts sheet was prepared in celebration of National Families Week and draws on data from the national census, the HILDA survey, and the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children.
