Chapter Chapter 14 in Well-being in Belgium, 2020, pp 99-105 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In Chap. 12 , we reviewed the time-use patterns of all types of families. In this chapter, we will examine the distribution of time within couples in more detail. This distribution determines how much leisure time remains for each of the partners, which in turn affects the level of well-being of the individual partners. An uneven distribution of childcare or time spent on household tasks can also lead to tension between partners.
