This article aims to develop a multidimensional index by integrating time use and well-being dimensions and proposes a conceptual framework based on the assets and the human capabilities approaches. The components of the index identify deprivations, which are understood to be barriers to the development of human capabilities and social justice.The optimum objective is to look beyond monetary metrics when identifying indicators that can better explain how the population, rather than the economy, is progressing and being guided by the principles of distributive justice. This study implements the Alkire- This article aims to develop a multidimensional index by integrating time use and well-being dimensions and proposes a conceptual framework based on the assets and the human capabilities approaches. The proposed index integrates normative and political aspects of the sexual division of labour, which is understood to be the unequal distribution of activities relating to unpaid work (uw) -including unpaid domestic and care work-and paid work (pw) between women and men. This requires taking a gender-and human-capabilities-based approach in conceptualizing, establishing and measuring "time poverty" and living conditions. First, the daily activities of an individual are identified (by grouping them under uw or pw). Second, minimum or maximum thresholds that an individual must reach in order to be classified as non-poor in terms of real time distribution are defined. Thresholds are also established to identify the population with deprivations in the other dimensions of the index. Conceptually speaking, one challenge of this article is to explain the implications of treating time as an
