Time is an important factor that offers key insights into a person’s wellbeing. The amount of time a person has to themselves and the autonomy they have to choose what to do with that time directly affects a person’s ability to access services, build and maintain relationships, work, learn, socialise, provide care and heal. There are often trade-offs involved, such as between work and leisure time.

Indicators in the Time domain measure people’s quality of time, sense of work-life balance, and their time spent travelling.
