Abstract

It is frequently maintained that leisure increases while work decreases as society makes a transition from pre-modern to industrial to post-industrial society. However, Schor, for example, insisted that Americans were suffering form overwork unlike our taken-for-granted thesis on the relation between work and leisure in post-industrial society. The changing direction in the relation between work and leisure is still not clear. TV viewing, a kind of passive leisure, has been a main activity among various leisure activities in Korea where leisure gets important in daily life. Men watch TV longer than women in Korea although total work which is the sum of paid market work and unpaid housework is longer for women than for men. Total free time is also longer for men than for women. However, the ratio of TV viewing over total free time is higher for women than for men. This indicates that women have less time in viewing TV than men, but the proportion of spending a passive leisure among total free time is higher for women than for men. This signals that there seems to be gender inequality around daily life in Korean society. Another issue on the relation between paid work and leisure was examined in this study. For both men and women, the longer paid work is, the shorter TV viewing is in Korea.
