“…This type of consumption is often studied in relation to the division of household labor (de Ruijter, Treas, and Cohen 2005;Greenwood, Seshadri, and Yorukoglu 2005) and the hiring of domestic workers (Glenn 2010;Romero 1992). Spending on time-saving goods is an attempt to relieve the pressure imposed by work and domestic tasks on household members' free time, something also conceptualized as time poverty (Kalenkoski and Hamrick 2013;Maditinos, Papadopoulos, and Prats 2014;Williams, Masuda, and Tallis 2016). Domestic services and childcare are examples of time-saving services.…”

Sociologists of consumption focus primarily on understanding the determinants and consequences of social variation in tastes. Patterns of variation in actual purchases, however, remain relatively unexplored. In this paper, the author proposes a framework for studying household expenditures. Drawing on the work of Mary Douglas, the author proposes a classification of goods and services into four spending bundles that are defined in relation to their contribution to social reproduction strategies. The author first tests the construct validity of the classification using household spending data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey. The author then examines the relationship between cultural capital and patterns of actual spending. In contrast to expectations derived from the sociology of consumption, the author finds that cultural capital is only weakly associated with how households actually spend their money. Overall, this suggests that sociologists need to incorporate issues of spending into the predominantly cultural focus of much consumption research.

“…La pauvreté des femmes n'est pas que matérielle. En considérant d'autres dimensions que le revenu, il est possible de saisir davantage les privations qu'elles vivent (Williams et al, 2016). Elles font donc face à une autre forme de pauvreté, celle qui les prive de temps, en raison des diverses stratégies qu'elles déploient pour assurer leur survie, celle de leur famille, et pour prendre soin des autres.…”

“…Elles font donc face à une autre forme de pauvreté, celle qui les prive de temps, en raison des diverses stratégies qu'elles déploient pour assurer leur survie, celle de leur famille, et pour prendre soin des autres. C'est ce à quoi réfèrent Williams, Masuda et Tallis (2016), Zilanawala (2014), ainsi que Turner et Grieco (2000), quand ils parlent de time poverty. Ce concept permet de poser un autre regard sur la pauvreté afin d'en saisir ses multiples dimensions.…”

Cet article présente des résultats d’une étude qualitative portant sur l’expérience de femmes francophones en situation de pauvreté vivant en milieu rural au Nouveau-Brunswick. Il examine le regard social stigmatisant posé sur ces femmes qui continue à les ostraciser, alors qu’elles déploient de multiples stratégies de survie. Ces stratégies seront analysées en tenant compte de leur organisation du temps à partir des concepts de time poverty et de quarts de travail de manière à déconstruire la stigmatisation dont elles font l’objet. Les constats conduisent à une réflexion sur les contre-discours sur la pauvreté qui confrontent l’autrification.

“…Conceptually, time has value as a measurement tool because what a person does, who he or she does it with, and how long he or she does it reflect patterns in individuals' lived experiences of daily life. Likewise, time has utility as an indicator of resource scarcity because it is bounded by the number of hours in the day and because time allocated to one activity carries opportunity costs of not engaging in other activities (e.g., National Research Council, ; Williams, Masuda, & Tallis, ). Also, because all minutes of the day must be accounted for, time use as estimated from time diaries may be less prone to aggregation bias, social desirability bias, and recall bias than other data collection techniques (Bolger, Davis, & Rafael, ; Robinson & Godbey, ).…”

Benefactors and Beneficiaries? Disability and Care to Others

Individuals with disabilities often have limitations that require care from others to increase functioning and facilitate activities of daily living. Despite these care‐receiving needs, evidence suggests people with disabilities are also care givers. This study uses the 2008–2015 American Time Use Survey to examine the association between the presence of sensory, mental or cognitive, physical, or multiple limitations and the likelihood and intensity of time spent in primary child care, secondary child care, adult care, care of nonhouseholders, and support care (housework). Net of socioeconomic characteristics, the authors do not observe consistent differences in predicted child care time by disability status, although men with disabilities spend less time in care to adults and nonhouseholders. The largest difference in predicted care time by disability status occurs in support care. Overall, the results challenge the traditional focus on people with disabilities as only beneficiaries of care to document their role as benefactors.
