## Abstract

Project Summary
This proposal requests five years of support for two biennial conferences on intersections of time use, family
inequality, and well-being. The proposal builds on the 10 year history of successful time use conferences
sponsored by the Maryland Population Research Center and co-organized by faculty from the Departments of
Sociology and Economics and the School of Public Health. The aims of the proposal are to 1) offer a forum for
dialogue among senior and new time use, public health, and social and social and behavioral science scholars
on innovative research on time use and child and family well-being across diverse families; 2) Identify
emerging issues in how life course variation in time use patterns is linked with developmental and role
transitions and adult and family well-being, emphasizing differences by gender, race-ethnicity, and education;
3) Foster interdisciplinary and international research teams who will develop pioneering projects on emerging
issues identified in Aim 2; and 4) Facilitate translational research projects that apply knowledge about how time
use variation across the life course and by gender, parenthood, race-ethnicity, and education influences well-
being to identify ways to improve effectiveness and scope of related programs and policies. To address these
aims, the proposed three biennial conferences are designed to provide a forum for dialogue about integrating
time use data with cross-disciplinary perspectives and tools on life course research and provide opportunities
for the formation of new interdisciplinary teams and increasing the number of scholars from underrepresented
groups applying time use data to emerging time-use-related social issues.
