| Research Abstract |
1. By using the existent time budget data, I found that married people in dual earner family participate more in voluntary activities, that there is no gender difference in the participation in voluntary activities and that females participate more in voluntary activities for children or handicapped people.
2. I conducted the time budget survey to the participants in voluntary activities. The results are as follows.
(1) Females spend more time on voluntary activities than males. Employed males devoted less time to voluntary activities. Single people spend more time on voluntary activities than married people.
(2) The effect of gender on the housework is also found in the participants in voluntary activities. Married females have long housework time and take the higher share in housework.
(3) The male participants in voluntary activities are engaged in housework more than nonparticipant males.
3. I conducted the interview to the leaders of voluntary activity group. The results are as follows.
(1) There are gender differences of accessibility to voluntary activities by the timing of meeting or the contents of voluntary activities.
(2) Some leaders point out the merits or the demerits of male members and female members.
4. I reach the conclusion that the participants in voluntary activities also face the problems of gender gap in home management in Japan. They should consider the balance of time use between voluntary activities and many other activities.
