Using the Multinational Time Use Study, we find that a better perception of own health is associated with more time devoted to market work activities in all six countries and with less time devoted to housework activities for both men and women. However, the evidence for the associations between health and leisure is mixed. This study represents a first step in understanding cross-country differences in the relationship between health status and time devoted to a range of activities for workers, in contrast with other analyses that have mainly focused only on market work. A better understanding of these cross-country differences may help to identify the effects of public policy on inequalities in the uses of time. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ECO2012-34828 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 0.42 2016 Industrial Relations 2016 Q2 Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management 2016 Q2 Economics and Econometrics 2016 Q3 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-9437-4606 Molina, José Alberto Universidad de Zaragoza 4000 415 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
