ABSTRACT
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare time use changing on ages and each year after categorizing occupations based on the data of '2004, 2009, 2014 Time Use Survey'. Methods: The sample over 10 years old consisted of 31,634 in 2004, 20,263 in 2009, and 26,988 in 2014 time use data. We classified life cycle from 10s to 89 years old and behaviors were classified by areas of occupation in OTPF (3rd Edition). Results: The results showed that 'play', 'social participation' and 'rest' time at teenagers are increasing. At 20s, 'education' was increasing and 'work' and 'leisure' were decreasing. Adults with over 60 are spending their much time on leisure, but the most activities are static like watching television. Conclusion: Researchers found that there was occupational time use changing based on ages. Therefore, we suggest that occupational therapists need to reflect change trend of time use for occupational balance when they provide OT service.
