Time Use Across the Life Course: Family Inequality and Multigenerational Well-Being

Intersection of time use, family inequality, and well-being

Faculty Associate Liana Sayer will oversee biennial conferences on the intersections of time use, family inequality and well-being with help from an R13 grant from NICHD. The ultimate objective is to provide tools on life course research, offer opportunities for the formation of new interdisciplinary teams and increase the number of scholars from underrepresented groups applying time use data. Conference aims include:

  • Offer a forum for dialogue among senior and new time use, public health and social and behavioral science scholars on innovative research on time use and child and family well-being. 
  • Identify emerging issues in how life course variation in time use patterns linked to developmental and role transitions and adult and family well-being, considering differences by gender, race-ethnicity, and education.
  • Foster interdisciplinary and international research teams who will develop pioneering projects. 
  • Facilitate translational research projects that apply knowledge about how time use variation across the life course by gender, parenthood, race-ethnicity, and education influences well-being to identify ways to improve effectiveness and scope of related programs and policies.
