This book explores time use, time policy, well-being and sustainable development using concepts and findings from time policy research, socio-ecological sustainability research, behavioral economics, consumer research, and research into prosperity and "the good life". Because any change in time structures, whether opening or working hours, school or travel times, has large scale impacts on other times that should ideally be recognized, the political and social restructure and negotiations for more effective time policy must include cross-cutting issues in the relevant sector policies - family, health, consumer, diet, environment, education, technology, transport, urban and labor market policy - and develop time policy strategies and instruments specific to each sector. This book is an interdisciplinary look into how society and government structure time policy, the procedural component of and possibility of a transformation or improvement in time-use, i.e. the "how" of change, what are transformation processes, how can they be explained, and how can change processes be ideally shaped? This book outlines the possibility of a transformation to sustainability in time policy. It will be of interest to researchers in economics, social and political science, social policy, government, quality of life studies, and education.

This volume explores intergenerational practices and their impact on social sustainability, with an emphasis on developing programmatic efforts to address profound social challenges such as underperforming educational and work-related systems, failing support systems for dependent or vulnerable populations, and community renewal and regeneration efforts. To this end, the core argument is to present issues related to age, aging, and generations, not only as problems, but as catalysts to facilitate improved quality of life for all generations. For societies to be sustainable, all generations must coexist at any given time and across time (non-contemporary generations). Hence, the ultimate vision presented here is one of intergenerational sustainability as both a conceptual tool and as a call for action. Intergenerational pathways are introduced as strategies for improving health and well-being across the lifespan, strengthening families, improving under-performing educational and work-related systems, and helping to build more cohesive, caring communities. Reviewing some of the historical factors and developments influencing intergenerational studies, as well as presenting regional case studies and comparative research, this book presents successful models that may be applied to everyday multigenerational practices in institutions such as education, family life, housing, healthcare, employment, and community development. The result is an accessible resource for students, academics, policymakers, community leaders, and citizens concerned with creating opportunities amidst challenging demographic and social changes.

This collection is a multidisciplinary and multicultural contribution to the current sustainability discourse. It is focused on two main dimensions of our world: complexity and diversity. Desirable and urgent transition of socio-technological systems toward a sustainability trajectory of development requires a better understanding of technological trends and social transformations. General advancement of technology does not produce identical changes in various societies, differentiated economically and culturally. Moreover, the abilities to approach sustainable development change over time and space. As a result there is a constant need for continuing research, analyses, and discussions concerning changing contexts and adequacy of strategies and policies. Authors from twelve countries and of different academic and cultural settings present their insights, analyses and recommendations. The collection is focused both on contexts and on activities leading to sustainable trajectories in various domains of economy and social life. Continuing research and discussion is needed to better understand these challenges and to prepare the appropriate strategies and solutions. Development of socio-technological systems is nowadays very complex; moreover, the world we live in is extremely diverse. Therefore, sustainability discourse must be ongoing, introducing new ideas, concepts, theories, evidence and experience by various parties—academics, professionals, and practitioners.

TE-Mature Policies sustain Good Lives and Societies at the same time that they bolster economic growth in 95% of countries that adopt them; 80% of countries that do not are in a Collapse Trending today as well. Transition Economics Maturity Models describe what are the important measurable targets of any economy and explains how to change Policies as needed and when. Policies in Housing, Energy, Interest Rates, Debt, Social Policy - 18 measures in all. TE Maturity Models compare the Policies of 180 Countries with their GDP results to confirm why 72% of all countries are in a Collapse Trending today. TE-Mature nations are not among them as these countries are Collapse Trending just 5% of the time - and often to a much lesser degree as well. The U.S., Canada, Mexico, France, the U.K, Australia - are all examples of countries in Collapse Trendings. The Netherlands, Italy, Germany, China, Japan and most of Asia are not - they have Advancing Economies. Maturity Models explain how to direct resets for your country Policies that are researched to ensure positive results. Transition Economics is the Science of Renewable Automation and Social Policies that recognize and correct the naturally repeating cycles of our economies. Ensuring that people have living incomes, and that those incomes can provide renewed spending-power too, is the goal of every TE-Maturity Modelled Policy. Have you ever wondered why do monetary, housing, and social policies work sometimes - like they did in the 1950s and 1960s; but they do not seem to be working today? The reason is that Capitalism's inequities are cyclic - so that policy that works in the beginning of an Economic Cycle when there is little inequity, needs to change at the end of a Cycle - where there is a lot of inequity. Its simple once you understand what to change - and how to Transition. Inequity costs the United States up to $8 trillion dollars annually because 160 million people are unable to contribute to wealth creation as in other countries. TE turns the 970 jobs lost to automation per month (per million population) into a tremendous revenue opportunity and even into a sustainable society as well. * Guaranteed Living Incomes * Universal Healthcare, DayCare, and Education * Housing Controls that end Housing Bubbles * The Business Case for Empathy and Social Support * Renewable Automations... and much more. The Science of Cycle Economics A Game of Monopoly permits us to view a sixty-year Capitalist cycle in just 60 or 90 minutes of play. Notice that normal "status-quo" strategies from the beginning of the game, do not work near the end - in the hotel-round of the game - and also notice what happens at the end of the game; all property returns to the bank for redistribution so that the game can begin again. Wealth Distribution - is needed to restart the game (the cycle) again at the end. In Spring and Summer Phases of a sixty-year K-Wave cycle, wealth is distributed and society has equality of opportunity. In Autumn wealth begins to accumulate and Socialistic policies sustain a Good Life for all very well. It is for this reason that Norway and The Netherlands have a Good Life and strong equality still today in a Great Depression. Basically, adopt Policies just the same as the Netherlands and Norway do. In Winter, Policies that RESET the Economy by providing Incomes and restoring Spending-Power are Critical. The deeper the Wealth Redistribution in a Winter Phase, the longer and more successful is the next 60-year Cycle. Education in Democracy and Change When a trained Monarch governed the Economy in ancient Mesopotamia, "Jubilees" corrected the problem easily. When untrained modern-day Democracies governed, these corrections can create tremendous human suffering. In a Democracy, we must teach voters in High School about the Transition Economics Civics lessons that sustain a Good Life and American Dream sustainably.
