Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 人力資源管理研究所 === 101 === Time is classified into four types, including necessary time, working time, housework time and leisure time. The research analyzes how people in Taiwan allocate their time using Time Use Survey conducted by Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics, Executive Yuan, R.O.C. First, the research aims at the difference on time allocation by gender, age, marriage status, education, family, residence, employment and holiday. Secondly, we use T-test to compare 2000 and 2004 Time Use Survey to know how people changed allocation of time after Taiwan government has reduced the working hours to 40 hours a week in 2001. We find people not only increased working time and housework time but also decreased leisure time on weekdays. Besides that, people increased housework time and necessary time on weekends. Moreover, we analyze how people with different traits use time after regulated working hours was reduced. Japan government implemented the reduced-working-hours policy in 1994 and South Korea government did in 2004. Lastly, we compare the time use of people in Taiwan, Japan and South Korea to know their difference.
