In this study, the allocation of time of the house wife from 1976 to 1996 was investigated first. It can be said that, in general, the house keeping time has come to decrease in both types of wife whether engaged or not engaged in work, while the leisure time has been increasing and the work time of the wife engaged in work has been decreasing. Second, regression analysis method was applied using the survey on time use and leisure activities (Statistics Bureau, Management and Coordination Agency, Government of Japan) in order to clarify the factors which affect these time allocations. In doing that, the income of the household head, the hourly scheduled cash earnings of female, the number of persons per household and the time trend were adopted as explanatory variables. From the result of the analysis, the following has been found out : (1) The higher the income of the household head is, the more it tends to decrease the house keeping time of the wife not engaged in work and the work time of the wife engaged in work, while it tends to increase the leisure time of both types of wife. (2) The higher the hourly scheduled cash earnings is, the more it tends to decrease the house keeping time and the leisure time of the wife engaged in work, while it makes the work time increase. Though the estimates of the regression coefficients of these two economic factors do not have necessarily enough level of significance statistically, the influential direction of the factors is mostly as expected. (3) The number of persons per household has a great influence on the house keeping time of the wife engaged in work, in other words the reduction of family size in recent years brings the reduction of house keeping time. (4) The time trend has a large influence on the allocation of time of both types of wife. In these cases the time trend implies improvement and popularization of electric appliances, the change of the family consciousness toward both of the house keeping time and the social advance of the house wife as well as the environmental change during these two decades.
