| Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 國際貿易學系國際企業學碩士班 === 94 === The major purpose of this paper is to discuss the trends and the variety of time use among Taiwanese people. The economic model was developed by Gronau and Hamermesh（2001）.Using Time-use surveys conducted by DGBAS from between 1987 and 2004.
The empirical results suggest that men have higher personal care、direct work、leisure time、non-market work and less home work than women. Married individuals have higher direct work and home work. For both sexes we find a general rise in the leisure time and non-market work as the level of education rises. We also find that trends in personal care and direct work have increased but trends in home work、leisure time and non-market work have decreased between 1987 and 2004.
The estimates reveal a inverted U-shaped relationship between variety and age. More educated individuals generate more variety. There is more variety on weekends; women and married individuals engage in more different activities than men and unmarried ones. Individuals who live in southern Taiwan generate more variety.
