Introduction

Speaking about time is speaking about the uses we make of time. Because afier all, if philosophically we can conceive time as an abstraction unrelated with the subjects living it, time as a psychological category is only existential, or, as María Ángeles Durán says, "something we live, rather than something that lives us" (Durán, 2013: 21). But time is also "a human invention" (Daly, 2002: 2). As an expression of a way of thinking and representing the social structure, the meaning of time is far flom neutral; it encompasses a means of measuring and quantifying, but also qualifying, that is, aributing value to human activities. e subjective experience of time is a fundamental dimension. Time is lived in a subjective manner by each person, by each man and by each woman, thus time is gendered ("a gendered time", in the words of Jane Pillinger, 2000). at is, the meanings of time are marked by gender. Women and men bestow dierent values and senses on time, in a process conditioned by responsibilities, resources, positions and statuses. Time is therefore a key topic for structuring our thought and intervention in the eld of equality between women and men. (cf. Perista, 2014, our translation) It was on the basis of the above premises that we have conducted our study on time use by men and women in Portugal, the main results of which are now presented in this book. Time use, and in particular the relationship between paid and unpaid work, has been widely debated

among the scientific community, also with the contribution of various international organisations. A major

reference is owed to the United Nations (UN), through its World Conference on Women held in Nairobi in 1985 and especially the Beijing Platform for Action approved at the 4 th

UN World Conference on

Woman in 1995, which defines time use as one of its priority interventi on areas. The International Labour Organisation (ILO), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the European Foundation for improving Living and Working Conditions (EUROFOUND) have also carried out

relevant initiatives in this field. As far as the European Union (EU) is concerned, it should be underscored

that the Eurostat promoted in the mid-1990s the development of a harmonised model for time u se surveys which led to about twenty studies being conducted in different EU member states, including

Portugal.

Internationally, time use is a field of statistical enquiry and research with a long and consolidated tradition,

in some cases dating back more than a century. In Portugal, it was only in the 1980s and 1990s that a

perspective of time use analysis was first considered in some studies on the distribution of household

tasks and childcare. Some of those studies were of academic nature and most of them had a limited

scope of application, namely with regard to territorial coverage; other studies were public initiatives

undertaken within the body then designated as Directorate-General of the Family (

Direcção-Geral da

Família

THE USE OF TIME BY MEN AND WOMEN IN PORTUGAL

06 This eld of work and reection has been consolidated over the last twenty years at the Centre for

Studies for Social Intervention (

Centro de Estudos para a Intervenção Social

, CESIS), since in 1996-

1997 the (then called) Commission for Equality and Women"s Rights (

Comissão para a Igualdade e

para os Direitos das Mulheres , CIDM) promoted the project “European Union Policies for Equality -

Elaboration of new assessment indicators" (

Políticas para a Igualdade da União Europeia - Elaboração de novos indicadores para a sua avaliação ) (CIDM, 1997). Time use was one of the areas identied by the CIDM for proposing new indicators, the work in this domain being ensured by the CESIS. In 1999, the Commission for Equality in Labour and Employment (

Comissão para a Igualdade no

Trabalho e no Emprego

, CITE), then headed by Maria do Céu da Cunha Rêgo, decided to become an active partner of Statistics Portugal (

Instituto Nacional de Estatística

, INE) for the purposes of the Survey on Time Use (

Inquérito à Ocupação do Tempo

, IOT); the CESIS provided expert consultation in this

process. It was only at that time that greater visibility was granted to the subject of time management

between paid work in the context of the labour market and unpaid work in the context of the households. The outcome of the ensuing work, carried out by a team of the CESIS unde r an agreement with the

CITE, gave rise, among other things, to a publication entitled “Gender and unpaid work: women"s times

and men"s times" ( Género e trabalho não pago: os tempos das mulheres e os tempos dos homens

Perista, 2002). Those results, based on the rst ofcial statistical source in Portugal allowing an analytical

approach to time use, conrmed and provided evidence of the sharp asymmetry that persisted, and still persists today, in the distribution of unpaid work between women and men. The conclusions of that study were widely disseminated and contributed to fuel the public debate, as

well as to substantiate policies promoting equality between women and men and a better conciliation of

working, family and personal life.

Today, more than sixteen years later and following the same path, it is with great satisfaction that we

are able to draw an updated and nationally representative diagnosis of time use by men and women in

Portugal, particularly with respect to paid work and unpaid care work, based on the results of the research

project “National Survey on Time Use by Men and Women" (

Inquérito Nacional aos Usos do Tempo de

Homens e de Mulheres

, INUT). This project started in October 2014 and ended in September 2016; it was carried out by the CESIS in partnership with the CITE and funded by the European Economic Area Financial Mechanism, 2009-20014 EEA Grants, through its Programme Area PT07 - Mainstreaming

Gender Equality and Promoting Work-Life Balance.

Preliminary results were presented at the Final Conference of the project on 28 June 2016, together with the publication of the

Policy Brief

(Perista et al., 2016). The aim of the Conference was twofold: to disseminate the knowledge and to share and jointly reect on the ndings about gendered time use as summarised in the

Policy Brief

. Through a participatory model, namely with parallel sessions

focusing on the various key themes under analysis, the conference granted us the opportunity to collect

contributions from all of the participants (more than one hundred, with diverse proles and experiences)

in order to draw up a set of public policy recommendations.

THE USE OF TIME BY MEN AND WOMEN IN PORTUGAL

07 This is the moment to renew our message of gratitude to all of those participating as speakers, moderators or rapporteurs at the different sessions of the Conference. A public acknowledgement note is owed in particular to Maria do Céu da Cunha Rêgo for writing a document with the conclusions and recommendations compiled at the conference; thanks to the generosity of the author, such document is partially reproduced as the last chapter of this book. 1 The book deals with time use. And time, and the uses we make of it, touc h upon and cross through

the lives of all of us. The lives of the INUT project team members too. Health problems; a baby"s birth;

difculties in combining peak period demands with the needs to provide care to children and parents,

but also with holiday periods... all of these issues and more have traversed the INUT project and its

development. Mention should be made as regards our colleague Eudelina Quintal: after participating

actively in most of the execution period of the project, she was unable to accompany its last stage of

development. The ndings presented in this book also beneted from important contributions that we must acknowledge and thank. Since the beginning of the Project, and even before so, in its conception and discussion stages, we could count on the CITE as an ever-present, active and committed partner, namely through its President as well as Anita Sares and Ana Curado. In specic components of the study, our work beneted from expert support by two consultants: Sandra Ribeiro, who accompanied and participated

in the denition of the study goals and methodological options, as well as in the conception and testing

of data collection instruments; and Helena Carvalho, whose counselling a nd guidance were especially

useful during the stages of data processing and statistical analysis of the results to be drawn from the

National Survey on Time Use, 2015 (

Inquérito Nacional aos Usos do Tempo

, INUT, 2015). Last, but not the least, we thank all of the women and all of the men wh o gave us a little of their time by answering our survey and our interviews. The main conclusions of these two years of work gave rise to this book, which is organised into six chapters. After this rst chapter of introduction, Chapter 2 provides a detailed account of the methodological design as well as the major characteristics of our sample. Chapters 3, 4 and 5 draw on a possible categorisation of the different times that intersect and clash in the lives of women and men: “Me time";

“Family time", in which particular attention is paid to household chores and care work on the one hand,

and to practices of motherhood and fatherhood on the other; and “Paid working time". The last chapter presents the conclusions and recommendations; a rst section comprises the main conclusions drawn

from our research, while a second section is dedicated to the conclusions and recommendations arising

from the Final Conference of the project. 1

fie full version of the document (in Portuguese), including relevant contextual information about applicable legislation, political commitments binding Portugal, norms of international organisations and the European Union, as well as the situation in Portugal, is available on the website of the project: www.inut.info.

THE USE OF TIME BY MEN AND WOMEN IN PORTUGAL

08 To conclude this introduction, and borrowing the words of Maria do Céu da Cunha Rêgo when contextualising the conclusions and recommendations of the Conference, we shall underscore that: e international law for the equality between men and women and the norms of international organisations on this subject are unanimous in the conclusion that equality in the public sphere - employment, participation (including top-level positions) in economic, civic and political decision-making - is only possible if there is equality in the private sphere - the work involved in caring for dependent persons and doing household chores. One of the most relevant indicators to this balance is the time dedicated by women and men to activities in each of these spheres, keeping in mind that work in the public sphere is presumably remunerated while that in the private sphere is not. is means that asymmetry in the distribution of time impacts not only on opportunities but also on income and power. erefore, knowing how much time women and men spend on activities that are central to their lives is key to inform public policies aiming at the promotion of equality between men and women, translated into the elimination of the stereotypes that "determine" unequal social roles according to which men predominate in the public realm and women in the private realm. Policies which Portugal is legally bound and politically commied to pursuit. (Cunha Rêgo, 2016)

Methodology and sample characteristics

The goal of the INUT project was to obtain and analyse up-to-date information on time use by men and women in Portugal, especially with regard to paid work and unpaid care work. We wanted our diagnosis to allow us, among other aims, to raise awareness of the need to have a balanced distribution of unpaid care work between women and men, as well as formulate public policy reco mmendations concerningquotesdbs_dbs18.pdfusesText_24
