Time use is both a cause of social inequality and a consequence of social inequality. However, how social class stratifies time use patterns is seldom studied. In this paper, I describe the time use patterns in the years 1983 and 2015 by social class, and gender in the British context. Using sequence analysis methods, I show how the diversity of time use patterns in British society is socially stratified. I find that 13 clusters capture the heterogeneity of time use patterns and that these clusters are associated with social class, gender, and day of the week. These clusters capture patterns of paid and unpaid work schedules, as well as leisure patterns. The results show that men have experienced a reduction of the standard Monday to Friday 8‐hr working day, while women have experienced a general increase in this type of schedule. On the other hand, patterns of domestic working days have reduced for women and increased for men. Important differences exist in paid and unpaid work patterns between social classes. Working‐class women have experienced an important increase in shift work on weekends. They are also much more likely to be doing unpaid work on weekdays compared to upper‐class and middle‐class women. Working‐class men are more likely to experience non‐working days and leisure days on both weekdays and weekends and are more likely to be doing shift work. They are also more often doing unpaid work on weekdays compared to men in upper‐class households. Patterns of childcare indicate that all families have increased their childcare time. Men in upper‐class households in particular have experienced an important growth in childcare time between 1983 and 2015. I conclude by discussing how time use can further our understanding of social stratification.

时间使用方式的社会分层。

时间的使用既是社会不平等的原因,也是社会不平等的结果。但是,很少研究社会阶层如何对时间使用方式进行分层。在本文中,我按社会阶层和英国背景下的性别描述了1983年和2015年的时间使用方式。通过序列分析方法,我展示了英国社会时间使用方式的多样性如何在社会上分层。我发现有13个集群捕获了时间使用模式的异质性,并且这些集群与社会阶层,性别和星期几相关。这些集群捕获有酬和无酬工作时间表的模式以及休闲模式。结果表明,男性在星期一至星期五的8小时工作日中减少了标准时间,而女性在这种时间表中则普遍增加了。另一方面,女性的家庭工作日数有所减少,而男性则有所增加。社会阶层之间有偿和无偿工作模式存在重要差异。工人阶级的妇女在周末轮班工作中经历了重要的增加。与上层阶级和中产阶级妇女相比,她们在工作日更可能从事无偿工作。工人阶级的男性更有可能在工作日和周末都经历非工作日和休闲日,并且更有可能从事轮班工作。与上层家庭中的男性相比,他们在工作日更经常从事无偿工作。育儿模式表明,所有家庭都增加了育儿时间。在1983年至2015年之间,尤其是上层家庭的男性在保育时间方面经历了重要的增长。
