abstract: 'This article offers a conceptual model of how resources, including time
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and human and social capital, interact with responsibilities, including
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
personal care, childcare and other unpaid work, to produce a range of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
feasible time allocations. Each allocation generates a combination of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
disposable income and free time. This set of feasible income-time
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
combinations provides a measure of the individual''s capability set or
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
his/her substantive freedom. The approach is illustrated empirically
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
with data and simulations based on the UK Time Use Survey 2000. The
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
results show that having low educational qualifications (reflecting
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
limited command over resources), having more or younger children
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(implying greater caring responsibilities), being single and being
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
disabled (both of which adversely affect the rate at which resources can
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
be converted into valuable outcomes) are each independently associated
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
with having a small capability set, defined in terms of the level and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
range of combinations of disposable income and free time that can be
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
achieved. The paper concludes that the range of combinations of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
disposable income and free time that a person can achieve provides a
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
useful metric for assessing inequality in individuals'' substantive
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
freedom to pursue their goals in life - a key target for liberal
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
egalitarians.'
