Unemployment and leisure
A sociological classic on unemployment was the study of a small Austrian town, Marienthal [Jahoda, M., Lazarfeld, P. F., & Zeisel, H. (1972). Marienthal: The sociography of an unemployed community. London: Tavistock Publications]. Written in 1933, the investigation aimed to provide the psychological situation of 478 families. The unemployed experienced lower expectations and activity, a disrupted sense of time, and a steady decline into apathy. T…
Finding leisure in China
Serious leisure and individuality
Consuming experiences
This paper draws on the work of Pine and Gilmore (1999). It applies their model of economic progression to leisure and tourism in general and specifically to a tour of Vietnam. The model espouses four economic distinctions of commodities, goods, services and experiences. The development of the coffee bean is used to illustrate the four economic distinctions. Later, distinctions are emphasised into diverse areas of a tour. The landscape of the exp…
The Work-Leisure Paradigm
Role overload, stress and lack of time for leisure characterise life in Western and other societies. This paper examines the changes in the work-leisure paradigm over the past four decades. The anticipated long-term decline in working hours was expected to result in increased leisure time. Researchers at various periods have examined theories on how work values have spilled over into leisure, and how leisure has compensated for stresses of work. …

The study also analyses the determinants of constraints using multivariate regression.

Leisure in a Globalised Society
The leisure and work occupations of young people
This article presents perspectives on leisure, work and relationships between work and leisure, in relation to young people. It argues that leisure is a complex phenomenon and affords young people an arena to experiment, to take risks and to face challenges. Its dimensions of time, occupation, and experience offer opportunities for relaxation, personal development, anti‐leisure and serious leisure. Leisure is shaped by social factors and a cultur…
Young People and Unemployment
This paper examines the impact of unemployment on the leisure of young people in Western Australia. It attempts to find out whether job loss diminishes the quantity and quality of participation in leisure activities. Original quantitative and qualitative data were derived through interviews with 82 males and females between the ages of 18 and 30 years. Before and after job loss comparisons were made on leisure participation in and out of the home…
Social transformation and the changing work‐leisure relationship in the late 1990s
This paper examines the development of work‐leisure research over the past thirty years. In the 1960s and 70s the anticipation of long‐term decline in working hours was expected to result in increased leisure time. Researchers of that period examined theories on conditions when work values spilled over into leisure and when leisure activities compensated for the stresses of work. Spillover and compensation were further examined from diverse occup…
Coping With Bulk Unobligated Time
The paper is about coping with and adapting to enforced unobligated time by people who are unemployed in late career. Qualitative data were derived through group discussions with older unemployed people, and a three-stage longitudinal study with ten unemployed persons who were interviewed in-depth over the period of one year. It was found that enforced unobligated time generated by unemployment was not compatible with leisure time. Jobless people…
