Time budgets of employees in different countries: structure, dynamics, new ratios of time expenditures

The stated problem of changes in spending the time budget of a modern economically active person is relevant in terms of the relationship between work and rest time through the dynamics and structure of time expenditures, which determines the quality of the human potential of the national economic system. Using national statistical groupings of a number of countries having the prominent positions in the cluster of high-tech industries, with the help of traditional methods of correlation analysis, some new ratios of time expenditures were revealed, distinguished by optimality in the structure and dynamics of spending the time budget of workers in the context of specific sections. General trends and differences of the compared countries in time budget sections, the share of time spent on work; non-working time associated with work; free time and leisure time of employees of high-tech cluster companies are shown. Particular attention is paid to the mutual influence of the division of the time budget of different countries, which is determined by fluctuations in time expenditures in the matrix of paired correlation coefficients. The results obtained reflect the influence of technologization and value socio-cultural transformation of workers in the studied cluster of economic sectors of the compared countries on the dynamics and structure of time budget spending, which reflects the change in social relations in the context of changing social structures.
