Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore various types of couples' time use and to investigate the characteristics of each type. The subject of the study consisted of 96 employed wives and their husbands and 215 unemployed wives and their husbands living in Seoul. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and cluster analysis using SAS 8.2 program. The major findings were as follows: The time use of wives and their husbands both on one weekday and one holiday was classified as personal time, paid work time, housework time, and free time. These 4 categories of time were basic elements to classify the types of couples' time use in the cluster analysis. As a result of the cluster analysis, four types of time use of couples were yielded. These were called as 'personal time oriented type', 'paid work time oriented type', 'housework time oriented type' and 'free time oriented type'.
