Wealth in time 2008/09
Wealth in Time is an important issue in the field of life quality research. To have time becomes an essential indicator of wellbeing for the society.
During the project “wellbeing” the survey “Wealth in Time” was conducted by Statistics Austria from October 2008 to March 2009 on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management and EUROSTAT. About 7 600 persons aged 15 years or older answered questions regarding their satisfaction with their time use in different fields of life.
Results showed for instance that the education has an influence on the way time is experienced. Higher educated people considered their time for different activities less sufficient than less educated people. Education seems to awake needs. Another result shows that men see their time for different activities (like housework, child care,…) not as sufficient as women do.
Within the project “wellbeing” the wider aspect of quality of life was researched. Subjective indicators of wellbeing were analyzed like satisfaction with the housing or the working situation, work-family balance, the subjective evaluation of the state of health, the noise pollution and criminality of the neighborhood.
