About one in three Australians are time-poor with the majority working unpaid hours, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. But women are bearing the brunt with more than 36 per cent always feeling rushed or pressed for time, compared with about 30 per cent of men. The most common reason for feeling rushed was trying to balance work and family. It comes as the bureau issues its key takeaways on how we spent our time in 2024. It categorised the way Australians spend their time in four ways: personal care for self, employment and education, unpaid work and free time. The survey found most people had done unpaid work but fewer people reported doing unpaid work on days they did paid work.
