Studies of time‐use in Japan were reviewed by Tanaka at the Uppsala Conference 1 . This paper intends to focus on time‐input for household work as it relates to families, with data based on individual, group, and national studies, and with the following objectives to fulfil: first, to comprehend the nature of household work as a non‐market production and the need to discover if the scientific measurement of time is useful in assessment of non‐market labour; second, to present data on the utilization of time by members of families with focus on the problems of research methods and their comparability as presented by Stajkov 2 and Aas 3 .
