%X This study examines time use data for 1,244 children in the age group 6¨C12 years in 274 villages in eight states in rural north India to understand the trade-offs between time spent in school, time spent at work, time spent on home study and leisure. Using a Seemingly Unrelated Regressions Model, we find that there seems to be no trade-off between time spent at school and at work, whereas leisure time and home study appear to be compromised for the sake of work. Only a few variables influence allocation of time to different activities across the board
