Abstract

The study aims to analyze the time use of pensioners in the division Bahawalpur, Pakistan. Time-use surveys were carried out in all three districts of division Bahawalpur from February 2015 to June 2020, divided into four phases. This article describes the differences in time use of pensioners in the districts Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar, and Rahimyar Khan in all four phases. The results suggest remarkable similarities in the time use of all three districts. Mostly time after retirement was spent with family and on religious activities, whereas the least time was spent on travelling after retirement by pensioners of division Bahawalpur.
