A Review of Earlier Works on Time Poverty around the World: A Period of 2000 to 2018

Social Sciences

Women's empowerment and gender equality have become prominent issues in global development discourse and practice. The equal share of opportunities in the professions has led professionals such as development agencies, donors, corporations and non-governmental organizations to view women as crucial actors in solving poverty and a host of other social and economic problems, not just victims of poverty. Women’s empowerment is not only a function of increasing wealth and income but is also related to the idea of how women use their time. In this way, they are behind in some aspects of life, one of which is time poverty. Time poverty means having less time than others because of commitments or unpaid housework. Extensive literature in this field was studied to analyze the term time poverty broadly.
