Abstract

This study examines the relationship between energy poverty and personal time allocation using China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) data. We found that household energy poverty significantly reduces work and leisure time but increases housework time. Potential mechanisms include health status, employment type, and single status. Our results show that energy poverty reduces effective time utilization, wasting human resources and potentially hindering socio-economic development. We recommend that China's government recognize and alleviate the negative impact of household energy poverty to support socio-economic development, providing an empirical reference for other developing countries.

家庭能源贫困与个人时间分配：来自中国的经验证据

本研究利用中国家庭面板研究（CFPS）数据，探讨能源贫困与个人时间分配的关系。我们发现，家庭能源贫困显著减少了工作和休闲时间，但增加了家务劳动时间。潜在的机制包括健康状况、就业类型和单身状态。我们的研究结果表明，能源贫困降低了有效的时间利用率，浪费了人力资源，并可能阻碍社会经济发展。我们建议中国政府认识并缓解家庭能源贫困的负面影响，以支持社会经济发展，为其他发展中国家提供经验借鉴。
