This paper reports results from a nationally representative survey of 40–54–year–old New Zealanders investigating correlates of perceived available leisure time. The focus on women and men in midlife, the countries largest birth cohort, was based on concerns for the impact on leisure of a ‘demographic squeeze’ of those in this age group from pressures experienced through changed family structures and political economic policies. Multivariate odds ratio analyses were run on three models to study the relationships between explanatory variables and self-reported amounts of leisure time. Results showed that respondents predominantly reported having moderate amounts of time identified as leisure and were satisfied with that amount. Recognized correlates of leisure availability, such as education levels and ethnicity, were confirmed but others, such as gender, health status and family structures, were not. Overall there was little to statistically predict who in midlife might experience pressures impacting on leisure
