How older adults experience the digitalisation of their everyday life: The case of e-reading
This article explores e-reading as an instance of how older people experience the digitalisation of everyday life. Drawing on focus group data, we examine how older people make sense of e-reading in particular and digitalisation in general. We analysed the data with a constructivist analytic strategy inspired by sociologist Niklas Luhmann. The participants appreciate e-reading in situations where practicality and functionality matter. At the same…
Being there to care: The impact of a 30-hour work week on social relationships – evidence from a women’s organization in Belgium
Demonstrating construct validity and reliability of an eight-item experienced time pressure scale in nine large studies
Modern Western societies are believed to be characterized by a chronic lack of time. Yet, paradoxically, people in these societies have never worked less and have more leisure time than ever before. The lack of time is therefore mainly a subjective experience. Despite all attempts to measure this objectively an experienced time pressure scale seems more appropriate. Although such scales exist, they have hardly been assessed for their construct va…
Staying on track in higher secondary education in Flanders (Belgium). Mechanisms explaining social inequality in educational choice
This article analyses the mechanisms that contribute to differences in educational choice in the transition from the second to the third stage of secondary education in Flanders, a highly tracked educational system. The study programme chosen in the eleventh grade, besides being quite predictable from the educational position in the tenth grade and school performance, is also affected by social class, ethnic background and gender. Using data gath…
Deciphering the Iconic: An Inquiry into how Architecture Impacts the Inclusiveness of Cultural Institutions
Public libraries have seen a decline in attendance numbers in recent years, especially among visitors with lower levels of education. Public libraries have also significantly altered their 'look and feel' in the last two decades, with many now being housed in buildings with a very contemporary and 'iconic' architectural style. Our research explores whether these two developments are connected and how education- and class-based differences regardi…
Dreams versus reality: Wishes, Expectations and Perceived Reality for the Use of Extra Non-Work Time in a 30-Hour Work Week Experiment
In 2019, a Belgian women's organisation experimented with a 30-hour work week for all of their full-time employees. This work time reduction was an excellent opportunity to study these female employees' wishes, expectations and experienced reality concerning their extra non-work time. Their wishes and expectations – as well as how these relate to their perceived reality – was studied through longitudinal questionnaires, in-depth interviews and fo…
Exploring older adults’ ICT support: A mismatch between needs and provision
Because findings in prior research are ambiguous, it remains unclear whether and under which circumstances formal and informal support sources help older adults with their Information and Communication Technology (ICT) use. Our qualitative interview study with 96 older adults (>65, including Internet users and non-users) aims to shed light on older adults’ ICT support by addressing two research questions: (Q1) What types of ICT support needs do o…
Bridging the ‘instruction gap’: How ICT instructors help older adults with the acquisition of digital skills
Existing research on digital inclusion has shown that older adults (65+) are, in general, less digitally skilled than other age groups. While older adults can gain digital skills through ‘cold’ (formal) training by ICT instructors or through ‘warm’ (informal) support from family and friends, studies have suggested that formal training is more effective. Drawing on qualitative interview data of 26 ICT instructors, we 1) examine how their support c…
Not Enough Time? Leisure and Multiple Dimensions of Time Wealth
Research on leisure and time poverty has mainly focused on the duration of time and on the profile of the time poor. Using the 2013 Flemish Time-Use Data, this article investigates the influence of multiple dimensions of time wealth on leisure activities and leisure patterns for the working population. The four temporal dimensions used are leisure duration, leisure during the weekend, fragmentation of leisure, and subjective feeling of time press…
Reducing weekly working hours: Temporal strategies and changes in the organization and experiences of work-Results from a qualitative study of a 30-hour workweek experiment
In 2019, Femma Wereldvrouwen, a Belgian women's organization experimented with a 30-hour workweek on organizational level. All full-time employees reduced their weekly working hours from 36, 34, or 32 (depending on their age) to 30. The experiment lasted one calendar year. By integrating a sociological temporal lens and considering the different levels in the organization, this study investigates how the organization has adapted their work to a s…
Locking Down Gender Roles? A Time-Use Perspective on Gender Division of Household Labour during the Covid-19 Pandemic Lockdown in Belgium
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the division of household labour could continue to lock down or start to break gender roles. Using time-use data of n = 473 individuals collected during the lockdown restrictions in Belgium from March to May 2020, we analyse the gendered division of routine and non-routine household labour in absolute time use and relative shares. We compare against the Belgian time-use data of 2013 for the same time period …

Data Quality and Recall Bias in Time-Diary Research: The Effects of Prolonged Recall Periods in Self-Administered Online Time-Use Surveys
Previous research has shown that a prolonged recall period is associated with lower data quality in time-diary research. In these studies, the recall period is roughly estimated on the basis of the period between the assigned diary day and the agreed collection day. Because this is so rudimentary, little is known about the duration of the mean recall period and its consequences for data quality. Recent advances in online methodology now allow a b…
Bias in estimated working hours in time diary research: The effect of cyclical work time patterns on postponing designated registration days
Due to the diversification and fragmentation of working time arrangements, the organisation of working weeks now differ substantially from each other. To account for week-to-week variability in working time estimates in time diary research, it is important that respondents keep their time diaries on designated registration days. At the same time, this week-to-week variability might lead respondents to postpone their participation to convenient re…
Active Participation and Well-Being Among the Elderly in Belgium and the USA: A Cross-National Time-Use Perspective
Architecture, aesthetics, class and library attendance: An overlooked threshold for visiting public libraries
Several researchers have applied Bourdieu’s concept of habitus to studies regarding the experience of space and architecture, concluding that respondents often experience surroundings very differently, depending on their social class. Therefore, it can become problematic when public institutions opt for an architectural style that could discourage members of lower/working classes to visit. We believe this to be the case for public libraries, whic…
Teachers’ working time from time-use data: Consequences of the invalidity of survey questions for teachers, researchers, and policy
Fragmentation, homogenisation or segmentation? A diary study into the diversity of news consumption in a high-choice media environment
A weeklong diary study ( N = 460) into the exposure to news of Belgian (Flemish) adult media users (aged 25–45) shows that their information consumption is currently relatively diverse. An explanation for the observed diversity is that news consumers in Dutch-speaking Belgium have a wide array of internally balanced news titles and channels at their disposal, which they also actively consult. In addition, the study demonstrates that news consumpt…
Integrating virtual reality in qualitative research methods: Making a case for the VR-assisted interview
Virtual reality (VR) is still very much a niche technology despite its increasing popularity since recent years. VR has now reached a point where it can offer photorealistic experiences, while also being consumer-friendly and affordable. However, so far only a very limited amount of software has been developed for the specific purpose of conducting (social science) research. In this article, we illustrate that integrating virtual reality to good …
No interest, no time! Gendered constraints to museum visits in Flanders
This paper investigates why non-attendees of museums in Flanders (Belgium) do not visit and how these reasons for not attending are related to gender. The hierarchical constraints framework is applied to non-attendees using the 2014 Participation Survey (N = 2707). Both interested and non-interested non-attendees are included in the analyses. Findings reveal that interest constraints are the greatest barrier for museum visits for both women and m…

Exploring the stable practices of everyday life: A multi-day time-diary approach
Everyday life is neither the result of mundane, common-sense, habitual human behaviour as theorized by the agency-centred approach of methodological individualism nor the sheer result of the conformation to temporal norms of the structural approach of social holism. In fact, everyday life is marked by a rhythmic, temporal structure that is brought into effect by the modality of repetitive action. In this article, a praxeological approach is used …
Who works when? Towards a typology of weekly work patterns in Belgium
The question when people work is almost always reduced to the question how much people work on (non-)standard working hours. In this contribution, we applied optimal matching techniques using Belgian data from a weekly work grid ( n = 6330) to identify individuals' work timing patterns, offering a richer analytical approach than most previous studies on (non-)standard work time. Results show that such analysis captures much more and much more rel…
Change and Stability in Commensality Patterns: A Comparative Analysis of Belgian Time-Use Data from 1966, 1999 and 2004
The decline of the family meal is a popular concern in contemporary Western society. This article assesses how commensality patterns have evolved in Belgium over the last four decades and which factors have an impact on commensality. The study uses Belgian time-budget data from 1966 and 1999 to obtain an insight into the evolution of commensality patterns. Flemish time-use data from 2004 are used to determine the factors that affect commensality …

The Coming of the 24-hour Economy: Changing work schedules in Belgium between 1966 and 1999
This study mapped the changes in the timing of working hours in Belgium as reported in workers' daily work schedules, obtained from the Belgian Time-Use Surveys of 1966 and 1999. A typology of working schedules was drawn up by means of a sequence analysis. This approach showed that work performed beyond the standard times, that is, in the evening, at night, or on weekends, did not grow in importance in the intervening years. In 1999, standard wor…

The Search for the Invisible 8 Hours: The Gendered use of Time in a Society with a High Labour Force Participation of Women
This paper investigates to what extent, and how, the use of time differs between men and women in a society and an age-group in which the gender gap in labour force participation is rapidly closing. It is found that the gender differences come about primarily through the division of labour. However, this gendered division of work, which co-exists with a high labour market participation, does not lead to a double workload for women. Different mech…

In this article, we examined how women adjust their professional careers after the first childbirth. Reducing the hours of paid work is one way of reconciling work with family responsibilities. An alternative strategy consists of finding a job that integrates with family life more easily. We define jobs with better opportunities for positive role-combination (i.e. work and family) using the job demands–control model of Karasek. Using the longitud…

Early career occupational mobility of Turkish and Moroccan second-generation migrants in Flanders, Belgium
This article analyses the early career occupational mobility of people from a Turkish or Moroccan descent in Flanders (Belgium).

Spatial and temporal fluctuations in individual accessibility: A comparative analysis among subgroups of the population
In recent years, there has been a growing interest among urban and transport planners in the accessibility levels of different societal groups within an urban region. The interest stems in part from the concern that inadequate spatial and temporal planning may foster social exclusion by giving rise to accessibility limitations that bear disproportionately on certain population groups. This paper proposes and implements person-based, time-specific…

Men Taking Up Career Leave: An Opportunity for a Better Work and Family Life Balance
In 2004, 9 per cent of female employees took advantage of the system of 'career break' or 'time credit' in Flanders, compared to only 3 per cent of male workers. Although the number of men taking a career break is increasing, they remain a small group. In this article the time use of men interrupting their careers full-time or part-time is compared to that of full-time working men, using representative time use data from 2004. Analyses show that …
