Elements of private welfare production in Hungary (from time budget data)

Recently it has become recognized more and more widely in Hungary that in spite of the socialization of the means of production and the extension of the service institutions, the activities of households and individuals not taking place within the framework of large organizations contribute to an important degree to the welfare of society. On the basis of the results of the national time budget survey of 1976/77, four of these types of private activity are investigated: small-scale agricultural production, dwelling construction with personal resources, repairing of consumer durables and house-hold chores.
