Time Use Initiative - TUI

The Time Use Initiative (TUI) is the main non-profit organisation promoting the right to time all over the world. Its main objective is to encourage public discussion on how we collectively organise our time, seen as a way to improve citizen’s well-being through innovative time policies. The right to time advocates to rethink and rebalance the current distribution of time, based on the 8-hours triangle (8 hours for resting, 8 hours for working, and 8 hours for leisure), that does not fully respond to our societies’ needs — as it does not account for care time and commuting time. Time policies are a tool that allow finding a new life balance with time for work, time for rest, time for care, and time for leisure. The TUI aims to improve social time organisation as a key element for progress and achieve benefits in health, equality, efficiency, sustainability, and democracy.
