摘要

This study examines the time allocation of older individuals in India across paid, unpaid household domestic, unpaid caregiving, and residual activities throughout 24 hours and the factors that are associated with it. The nationally representative first Time-Use Survey (2019), conducted by the National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO), is used in this study. The results from multivariate linear regression revealed that the expected probability of spending time on paid activities was significantly lower for older females, the oldest-old age groups (80 years and above), and widowed/divorced/never-married older adults compared to their respective counterparts. The results of this study emphasize the significance of a person’s socioeconomic status in determining how much time they spend on various activities in their daily lives. It is crucial to change the perception that the older people depend on younger people by acknowledging the contribution made by older people through their participation in paid labour, unpaid domestic work, and caregiving.
