  1. Overview of the Multinational Time Use Study Kimberly Fisher Centre for Time Use Research International Association for Time Use Research kimberly.fisher@sociology.ox.ac.uk www.timeuse.org Centre for Time Use Research

  2. Why Archive Diaries? • Rich data, long shelf life • Civic exchange – make most of participants´ time / tax funding by reuse • Many lessons improving data learned from archiving • People better understand value of diaries if see uses – more use, more response Centre for Time Use Research www.timeuse.org

  3. What is MTUS? • Most comprehensive harmonised time use data • Cross-time, 1960s to 2010s • Cross-national – 21 (soon 24) countries: (Europe, North America, Africa, & soonAsia) • Created by Jonathan Gershuny in 1980s, still expanding www.timeuse.org Centre for Time Use Research

  4. Added Value in MTUS • Harmonised activity, location, mode of transport, demographic • Full-diary processing, making full use of: • narrative quality of diaries • all code information www.timeuse.org Centre for Time Use Research

  5. Full Use of Diary • 8:00-8:30 indoor cleaning + • talk to child home • 8:30-8:40 walk • 8:40-9:10 train • 9:10-9:15 walk • 9:15-13:30 paid work • main job office • 13:30-14:30 restaurant other • 14:30-14:45 walk • 14:45-15:00 chat to friend other • 15:00-17:30 university • lab course other www.timeuse.org Centre for Time Use Research

  6. Lessons from MTUS • Many problems MTUS corrects possible now due to technological advances • Important to build narrative quality of diaries into coding process www.timeuse.org Centre for Time Use Research

  7. Added Value in MTUS • Full-diary processing, increases use of diaries from people with impairments or low-levels of education • Weights remove low-quality diaries www.timeuse.org Centre for Time Use Research

  8. Low-Quality Diaries • missing 91+ minutes • many gaps & give up patterns • missing age, sex, day • < 7 episodes • missing 2+ domains • sleep or rest • eat or drink • personal care • travel or exercise www.timeuse.org Centre for Time Use Research

  9. Some diaries defined as low-quality in MTUS included in previously published research • Some diaries excluded in previously published research on account of missing too much time counted as good quality diaries in MTUS www.timeuse.org Centre for Time Use Research

  10. MTUS Activity Categories • Originally ad hoc collection of 41 acts for best fit to UK data for a number of surveys (AV) • New 69 categories condense HETUS, while retaining some coss-domain features of AV (work at home, eat out in cafe) • More codes for domestic production than for paid work www.timeuse.org Centre for Time Use Research

  11. MTUS Activity Lessons • Concentrate on what people do most days • Add detail to broad domains • degree of physical activity • exposure • whether using ICTs • alone or with others • resource use during activity • whether generates income • happiness and utility www.timeuse.org Centre for Time Use Research

  12. MTUS Activity Lessons • Structured code allowing respondent input better than hundreds of categories or highly restricted and fixed categories • Respondent input picks up detail like informal voluntary assistance to others www.timeuse.org Centre for Time Use Research

  13. Summary Versions • Each row case represents 1 diary • Summary time main activity only • All background variables • Version 5.53 • All diaries in the survey • 41 category time use variables • Version 5.8 • Separate adult (age 18+) & child files • 41 (AV) and 69 (Main) category time use variables • Total minutes with spouse / partner www.timeuse.org Centre for Time Use Research

  14. Episode Version • Identifiers, diary variables, age, sex only – used to extract variables to match into summary files • Main activity (AV 41 and Main 69) • Secondary activity (69 categories) • Location (Inside/outside, where) • Mode of transport • Whether ICTs used • 0/1 markers for alone, with child, with spouse, with other adult • Separate adult (18+) and child files (<18) www.timeuse.org Centre for Time Use Research

  15. Episode Coverage • Austria 1992 (2008-09 coming) • Australia 1974 (1987, 1992, 1997, 2006 coming) • Finland (1979, 1987, 1999 coming) • France 1998-99 (1966, 1974-75, 1986, 2009-10 coming) • Israel 1991-92 • Netherlands 1975, 1980, 2000, 2005 (1985, 1990, 1995 coming) • Spain 2002-03 (2009-10 coming) • UK 1974-75, 1995, 2000-01, 2005 (1961, 1983-87 coming) • USA 1965-66, 1975-76, 1985, 1992-95, 2003-09 www.timeuse.org Centre for Time Use Research

  16. Other Countries • Belgium • Bulgaria • Canada • China – hopefully upcoming • Denmark • Estonia • Germany • Hungary • India - Upcoming • Italy • Norway • Republic of Korea - Upcoming • Slovenia • South Africa • Sweden www.timeuse.org Centre for Time Use Research

  17. Uses of MTUS • Adult care (valuation, time cost, who performs care but does not identify as a carer) • Child care (valuation, trends, participation of fathers, balance of physical/interactive care) • Education (patterns of homework, parental involvement in children’s education) • Environment (transport modes, time at home/inside in heat or cold) • Leisure (trends, physical activity, quality) • Paid work (hours of work, scheduling) • Sleep (hours per week, deprivation, trends) • Unpaid work (women’s total economic contribution, hours, trends, sharing in households) • Volunteering (valuation, trends) • Work-life Balance www.timeuse.org Centre for Time Use Research

  18. New Uses of MTUS • Training, to build time use research capacity in developing countries • Counter-factual research using limited enjoyment data – estimating how people in a country might feel if they adopted the daily patterns of people in other countries • Understanding how changing daily activity patterns may relate to changes in stress levels and health www.timeuse.org Centre for Time Use Research

  19. Wind-Down on Work Days selecting for completed work days Paid work 1+ hours Asleep or activities that precede sleep Asleep or activities that follow sleep • 0 – 1 variable for no wind down, 1 means • - No free time on work day • - Last episode of paid work after last episode of free time www.timeuse.org Centre for Time Use Research

  20. Loss of wind-down days in USA

  21. Multinational Time Use Study www.timeuse.org/mtus • International Association for Time Use Research - IATUR • e-mail list with time use information • Electronic International Journal eIJTUR • annual conferences • 1-3 August 2011 Oxford, UK • September 2012 Tokyo Japan • September 2013 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil www.timeuse.org Centre for Time Use Research
