Socio cultural factors determine how people structure their free time. Older women in India become free from their routines due to changes in their roles or due to ill health. In a small sample of rural and urban women, watching television and listening to radio were found to be the common activities most engaged in. Television and radio were popular with men also. Though the study does not permit generalisations about leisure time activities of Indian women, certain impressions do emerge. Interviews reveal that senior women perceive their time not as something they can actively structure in ways that fulfill the classic definitions of leisure. Influenced by their early socialisation, present health and economic status, they structure their time in and around their household
