Summary:

This publication provides an overview of the different approaches in time-use survey design and in the collection and dissemination of time-use data. It is a response to interest among policy makers, researchers and advocates for furthering the understanding of time- use allocation among different societies and population groups, and to increased international interest in developing guidelines and methods for national time-use surveys. Coverage includes the issues, modalities and initiatives that need to be considered by national statistical offices in planning, designing and conducting surveys, followed by a review of the proposed "International Classification of Activities for Time-Use Statistics." A wealth of country practices are reported in 22 appendices. The text lacks a subject index but the table of contents is fairly detailed.
