Chapter 5: Unequal Time Patterns in Childhood and Adolescence

Central is the focus of the taken-for-granted experiences in the phase of growing up, the developing ways of life and value attitudes. In this context, questions arise about the extent to which children and adolescents help to shape the time patterns that are relevant to them and how an “equitable distribution” of “temporal resources” could be promoted.
