Popis: Using data from Canadian General Social Survey (Time Use- 2015), the study examined how physical health and mental health are related to individuals' time use in sleep, personal care, non-market work, market work, and leisure. The study used Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) and Tobit methods to estimate models. The study found that physical and mental health are negatively correlated with market hours and positively correlated with sleep and leisure. These results are consistent for both the male sample and the female sample. The study also focused on prime-age individuals and found that physical health and mental health significantly reduced time spent on work and significantly increased leisure time for both males and females.
