The European Union’s Harmonised European Time Use Survey links time expenditure patterns to income inequality, using Gini coefficients to measure inequality. Scatter plots show associations between national income inequality and daily activity durations. Higher inequality correlates with more time spent on household tasks like cleaning but less on leisure activities. Exceptions exist, such as Serbia’s high inequality with substantial social time use. Data from 2010 shows variations in activity distribution across countries, with some regions reporting lower inequality but limited social engagement. The analysis highlights correlations but cautions against assuming causation. Datasets include Gini coefficients and time-use statistics, with upcoming updates planned for future rounds of data collection.
