Definition

  • Leisure can be thought of as time spent as one wishes (i.e., time not spent working or undertaking duties or obligations). At various points during modern history, the concept of leisure has been held up as the prize that would be awarded to members of society as a result of “advances” in such things as technology, work habits, and international relations.
