We routinely judge how well children are doing in their lives by how
they spend their time, yet we know remarkably little about it. This
rigorous review of four decades of data provides the clearest insights
yet into the way children use their time. With analysis of changes in
the time spent on family, education, culture and technology, as well as
children's own views on their habits, it provides a fascinating
perspective on behaviour, wellbeing, social change and more. This is an
indispensable companion to the work of policy makers, academics and
researchers, and anyone interested in the daily lives of children.
