Working Kyrgyzstani people spend a third of their day on paid labor
The study conducted by the National Statistical Committee, titled "Time Budget Survey," showed how employment affects the distribution of time among the population.
Working citizens, both men and women, spend almost a third of their daily time on paid labor, including work in public and private enterprises, as well as in the agricultural and entrepreneurial sectors.
At the same time, the leisure time of working people accounts for only 7 to 14 percent, while no more than 15 percent of their time is spent on household duties.
Non-working individuals have the opportunity to significantly increase their free time, allowing them to engage more in household chores, studying, and personal care.
It is noted that women working in paid positions experience a lack of time not due to unwillingness to work, but because of the significant burden of caring for the home, children, and elderly relatives. This leads to them having insufficient time even to meet their own basic needs.
Overall, according to the study's data, men in the country dedicate more time to paid work than women, which confirms their status as the primary breadwinners in families.
