Abstract
While there is a great deal of research on leisure time in the literature on the basis of various variables, it is not possible to talk about enough variety in the theoretical context. In the majority of studies, it has been observed that researchers have tried to reveal the importance of leisure time and its positive effects in accordance to usage. While leisure time and its usage are considered as significant, there has not been enough information on the deprivation of that much needed time. This study aims to reveal the micro and macro sociological foundations of leisure time deprivation while making sense of leisure time deprivation.
