Abstract	This study uses data on 898 Dutch couples with minor children to examine whether parental work demands are related differently to one-on-one parent-child, family, and couple leisure activities. The authors presume that the impact of working hours and work arrangements is smaller on activities that are prioritized highly and that are easier and more efficient to organize. A seemingly unrelated regression model and "t" tests show that the effects of the fathers' working hours are similar for all types of family leisure. In contrast, for mothers, demanding earner types affect one-on-one mother-child leisure more than family leisure. Mothers may prioritize family leisure because of the high utility of these activities and because this is an efficient way to organize family interaction. Moreover, the authors find that couples in full-time/full-time arrangements participate more in couple leisure than single earner couples. (Contains 3 tables.) (As Provided).
