abstract: 'This paper analyses the relationship between health inequality and the

  time allocation decisions of workers in six European countries, deriving

  some important policy implications in the context of income tax systems,

  regulation of working conditions, and taxes on leisure activities. Using

  the Multinational Time Use Study, we find that a better perception of

  own health is associated with more time devoted to market work

  activities in all six countries and with less time devoted to housework

  activities for both men and women. However, the evidence for the

  associations between health and leisure is mixed. This study represents

  a first step in understanding cross-country differences in the

  relationship between health status and time devoted to a range of

  activities for workers, in contrast with other analyses that have mainly

  focused only on market work. A better understanding of these

  cross-country differences may help to identify the effects of public

  policy on inequalities in the uses of time.'
