Türkiye’de Boş Zaman Kullanımının Belirleyicileri

Abstract

Zamanın etkin kullanımı bir ülkenin iş gücünü oluşturan bireylerin üretkenliği için oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışma, Türkiye’deki bireylerin kültürel etkinlikler, spor etkinlikleri ve sosyalleşme gibi boş zaman etkinliklerine harcadıkları zamanın belirleyicilerini incelemektedir. Boş zaman etkinliklerine ayrılan zaman ile cinsiyet, yaş, eğitim seviyesi, gelir düzeyi, medeni durum, istihdam durumu, sağlık durumu ve çocuk bakımına ayrılan zaman gibi sosyo-demografik değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiler araştırılmaktadır. Bu amaçla, bu çalışma 2014-2015 dönemindeki TÜİK Zaman Kullanım Anketi’ni kullanmaktadır ve ampirik analiz için görünürde ilişkisiz regresyon modeli tahmin etmektedir. Bulgular, Türkiye’deki bireylerin sosyalleşmeye daha fazla zaman harcadıklarını göstermektedir. Yaş, eğitim seviyesi, medeni durum, sağlık durumu, istihdam durumu, çocuk bakımı ve hanehalkı gelir düzeyi, Türkiye'de farklı boş zaman etkinliklerine harcanan zamanla anlamlı ilişkiler göstermektedir.

Determinants of Leisure Time Use in Turkey

Abstract

Effective use of time is essential for productivity of individuals in labor force of a country. This study examines determinants of individuals’ time spent on leisure activities such as cultural activities, sports activities and socializing in Turkey. Associations between amount of time devoted to leisure time activities and socio-demographic variables such as gender, age, education level, household income level, marital status, employment status, health status and child care time are explored. For this purpose, this study employs TurkStat Time Use Survey of 2014-2015 and estimates seemingly unrelated regression model for empirical analysis. Findings indicate that individuals spend more time in socializing in Turkey. Age, education level, marital status, health status, employment status, child care time and household income level display significant associations with time spent on different leisure activities in Turkey.
