One thing I found interesting was that those with no children seemed to work considerably less. Perhaps it's an age/career-centric thing. Also to note, those with children spend quite some time in "Family Care" which to me sounds like maintenance moreso than leisure.
- nostrademons 17y agoCould also be a statistical blip. People with no children includes children themselves (hopefully ;-)), who probably will not be working. Averaged between them and 20-something yuppies, working hours will be less. The part that really surprised me is that sleep does not go down much between having no children and one child. It does go down between 1 child and 2+ children, but not by as much as I'd thought.
- gjm11 17y agoThe ATUS only covers people aged at least 15, so not exactly children. But yes, this is surely an age effect: university students, e.g., will typically have no children and do less (of what the ATUS classifies as) work.
