Abstract

The way children and adolescents use their time in daily activities is critical for their present and future well-being. This study discusses current scholarship on children’s and adolescents’ time use by examining (1) how child and adolescent daily activity patterns matter for well-being outcomes; (2) how child and adolescent time use differs by demographic and socioeconomic factors; (3) what role national contexts play in shaping different time-use patterns among children and adolescents. The study discusses evidence across different high-income countries by analysing research addressing six types of activities (i.e., family activities; educational activities; screen-based activities; physical activities; sleep; and unpaid domestic work) and considering variations across five key demographic factors (i.e., parental work characteristics; socioeconomic background; family structure; gender; and ethnicity/race). The paper concludes with a discussion of the main findings from this literature and with recommendations of future research in the field of child and adolescent time use.
