Time, is it mine? Temporal Agency in everyday life and over the Life Course
Time, is it mine? Temporal Agency in everyday life and over the Life Course
Description

By combining the theoretical and methodological life course perspective with the contributions from the debate around structure and agency, this
project intends to provide a panoramic (across countries and populations), longitudinal (for the duration of the project) and narrative (through qualitative data on the use of time) view on the use of time. To do so it will have a quantitative and a qualitative component. The quantitative component will be based on the analysis of secondary time use data from the Multinational Time Use Study (MTUS). For this analysis, a group of countries with contrasting social, cultural, and policy contexts will be selected based on data availability. The qualitative component will be based on a qualitative case-based approach. Case studies will be conducted in up to three different countries, using biographical interviews and time use diaries will be used as data collection instruments.
