Working and Student Youth: Values of Everyday Life, Time Budget

Abstract

The article analyzes the values of everyday life and the time budget of the younger generation (working youth) Pskov against the background of the older generation of workers, as well as students of the universities of Pskov, Omsk and Moscow. Empirical base: data from a study conducted in March 2019-January 2020. Life values are considered in three groups. The time budget is presented with information about the use of time in the average working day, in the average non-working day, and in the average week. It is shown that there are no intergenerational differences in the values of life support conditions (6) between the younger and older generations of workers, neither in men nor in women. Intergenerational differences in the values of daily activities between the younger and older generations of workers were found only in 6 of the 13 groups (mainly in men). Among students in the capital and in two regional centers of the Russian Federation, statistically significant differences were found in 9 out of 19 values (mainly among girls). As a result of a comparative analysis of the ratio of time spent on labor, restoring and developing groups of daily activities in three generations, it was found that the labor component is minimal among students. It is significantly higher among the working youth and even higher among the older generation of workers. This trend is typical for both men and women. The time spent on the restoring group, on the contrary, decreases from the student youth to the working youth and the older generation of workers. The share of time resources for developing activities in both generations of workers is the same for both men and women. This time resource is almost twice less than that of students.
