BACKGROUND How children spend their day is closely linked to their social and developmental outcomes. Children's time use is associated with their parents' educational and economic capital, making time use a potential reproduction channel for socioeconomic inequalities. OBJECTIVE We evaluate the correlation of natal-family economic resources, parents' education, and children's daily time use in Japan. METHODS Analysing data from a 2006 Japanese time use survey, we use natal-family income, parental education, and the interaction between them to predict in-school and afterschool study time, leisure time, and sleep time for children aged 10-18. RESULTS Children from families with higher incomes and more-educated parents spend a longer time studying after school and less time on sleep and leisure. Parental income and mothers' and fathers' education are all independently associated with children's daily patterns. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that available resources and parental education are important in shaping children's daily routines and, through these routines, their eventual socioeconomic outcomes. CONTRIBUTION This is the first article to simultaneously assess the impact of income and parental education on children's study, leisure, and sleep time. It is also the first paper to analyse children's time use and their natal-family characteristics in Japan.

日本青少年的时间利用：家庭收入和父母教育的作用。

背景 儿童如何度过一天与他们的社交和发展成果密切相关。儿童的时间使用与其父母的教育和经济资本相关，使时间使用成为社会经济不平等的潜在再生产渠道。目的我们评估日本出生家庭经济资源、父母教育和儿童日常使用时间的相关性。方法分析 2006 年日本时间使用调查的数据，我们使用出生家庭收入、父母教育以及它们之间的相互作用来预测 10-18 岁儿童的在校和课后学习时间、休闲时间和睡眠时间。结果 来自高收入家庭和父母受教育程度更高的孩子放学后的学习时间更长，睡眠和休闲时间更少。父母收入和母亲的收入 而父亲的教育都与孩子的日常模式独立相关。结论 我们的研究结果表明，可用资源和父母教育对于塑造儿童的日常生活很重要，并通过这些日常活动，他们最终的社会经济成果。贡献 这是第一篇同时评估收入和父母教育对孩子学习、休闲和睡眠时间影响的文章。这也是日本第一篇分析儿童时间使用及其出生家庭特征的论文。他们最终的社会经济成果。贡献 这是第一篇同时评估收入和父母教育对孩子学习、休闲和睡眠时间影响的文章。这也是日本第一篇分析儿童时间使用及其出生家庭特征的论文。他们最终的社会经济成果。贡献 这是第一篇同时评估收入和父母教育对孩子学习、休闲和睡眠时间影响的文章。这也是日本第一篇分析儿童时间使用及其出生家庭特征的论文。
