__NOTOC__

'''Money-rich, time-poor''' is an expression which arose in [[UK|Britain]] at the end of the 20th century to describe groups of people who, whilst having a high disposable income through well-paid employment, have relatively little [[leisure time]] as a result. '''Time poverty''' has also been coined as a noun for the phenomenon.

Many people accept time poverty as a necessary condition of employment; others have sought to solve the problem through [[Downshifting (lifestyle)|downshifting]] or through adoption of [[Flexible working hours|flexible working]] arrangements.<ref>{{Ccitation needed|date=July 2011}} e web |url=https://www.entrepreneurshub.co.uk/are-you-money-rich-but-time-poor/|website=www.entrepreneurshub.co.uk |title=Are you money rich but time poor |accessdate=5 June 2020}}</ref> The problem affects both salaried workers who work long hours even though they might be well compensated as well as hourly low-wage workers who work long hours to earn more money.

The idea of "money-rich, time-poor" has been reflecting in the human right to rest and leisure, provided for in Article 24 of the [[Universal Declaration of Human Rights]]
