Abstract(s)
Time-related stress is a biomedical condition with potentially serious consequences for the health of a person. As stated in this chapter, which is based on an overview of relevant literature, this stress, or the feeling of being rushed, derives from a shortage of time available for the activities which should be carried out. However, the inverse situation, a superabundance of time, may also cause stress. Social and cultural circumstances are crucial for the way an individual uses and perceives the time at his or her disposal. The articulation between a paid job and responsibilities in the private or domestic sphere may lead to specific forms of stress, but sometimes have positive effects. Since the requirements of household and care tasks in general are much heavier for women than for men, they take their toll especially on the physical and mental health of women.
