Abstract: There is no automatic equation between economic growth and improving life. In this study, a new socio-statistical indicator based on time budget data is presented. Using this indicator and available international and Hungarian GDP and time budget figures, the relationship between economic development and improved life is quantified and explored, while the authors do not deny the strong correlation between the two phenomena. The main conclusion is that without improving efficiency in standard worktime, total worktime per unit of free time does not decrease sufficiently – this can be seen in Hungary – and economic growth does not improve the quality of life in the long run.
