- Summary:
-
The German Democratic Republic's (GDR) Constitution says that "members of cooperative farms are responsible for the creation, on the basis of existing laws, of their own working and living conditions". This also applies to regulations of working hours, holidays, and paid leaves. The total time available per day to members of cooperative farms was examined through autochronographic investigations made at definite time intervals. Each person was required to give written information about the time required for the various activities performed during one day (24 hours) for a week. Total time was divided into working hours and work-related time, time for familial duties and chores, time for satisfying physiological needs, and leisure time. A comparison of the results with those of previous studies indicated that the further development of productive forces and conditions of production in GDR agriculture resulted in the disproportions between working hours and leisure time, which previously had been characteristic of the situation of individual farmers and agricultural workers, being eliminated. Findings included: members of cooperative farms spent a large proportion of their leisure time watching television or in public work (honorary work out of ordinary working hours for a social, political, or cultural organization); from 0 to 7.5% of leisure time was used for active and passive participation in sporting and artistic events while 6.2 to 23% was used for resting and relaxing; and the collective use of leisure for cultural purposes was increasing in importance.
