THE APPLICATION OF MAW'S APPROACH TO LEISURE TIME TO VALUE OF TIME RESEARCH

THE FIRST OF THIS NOTE STUDIES THE RELATION BETWEEN THE DEFINITIONS OF TIME USED BY MAN AND THOSE USED IN THE VALUE OF TIME THEORY AND MAW'S ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF ESSENTIAL ACTIVITIES ON THE STRUCTURING AND DISTRIBUTION OF TIME WITHIN THE FAMILY. THE SECOND PART OF THE NOTE, WHICH IS ENTITLED "THE HOUSEWIFE'S ATTITUDE TO LEISURE" AND IS BASED ON MAW'S THEORY, SUGGESTS SOME REASONS WHY A LARGE NUMBER OF HOUSEWIVES GIVE BOREDOM AS THE MAJOR MOTIVATION FOR WORKING OUTSIDE THE HOME AND WHY THEY TEND TO SPEND THEIR FREE TIME IN AN UNCONSTRUCTIVE MANNER.
