Evolution of Time Usage Over Generations

Over the years, there has been a shift in how individuals utilize their time. In the past, men worked long hours, including weekends, while women primarily focused on unpaid work and childcare. However, in recent times, with more women entering the workforce, there has been a convergence in the way men and women allocate their time. Professional occupations now involve both men and women dedicating substantial time to work, child-rearing, and active leisure, reflecting a more balanced approach to time management.
