Abstract

The present study explored the hours of living and playtime depending on existence of caregiver after school using the data from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey7071. KCYPS date collected on 1th, 4th and 7th grade children and their caregivers. The hours of living was categorized into sleeping, learning, reading and play times. Playtime was sub-categorized into time for using playing the computer/games, watching TV/DVD and playing with peer groups. The present study has shown that children in the fourth grade spent more time on learning, whereas reading children in the seventh grade spent more time on playing compared to those in other grades during the weekdays. Also, children in higher grades spent more time playing both on the weekdays and on the weekends. Students of all grades spent more time watching TV/DVD compared to other activities during the weekdays and the weekends. Children with a caregiver spent more time on learning and spent less time playing computer/game, watching TV/DVD and playing with peer groups than children without caregivers. As students moved up a grade, these results clearly appeared. Considering the results in this study, the allocation of hours of living and playtime of children altered depending on the existence of a caregivers.
