Time Use Survey

Why it matters

• Provides empirical evidence to quantify the economic contribution of unpaid care and domestic work, which is often excluded from traditional GDP calculations.
• Assists policymakers in designing gender-sensitive interventions by highlighting the disproportionate burden of household responsibilities on specific demographic groups.
• Enables a more nuanced understanding of the quality of life and work-life balance within the population beyond simple income-based metrics.
• Facilitates the formulation of targeted social welfare schemes and infrastructure development based on actual daily activity patterns.

How it is asked

Focus on the methodology of measuring non-market economic activities, the intersection of gender and labor economics, and the role of time-use data in achieving Sustainable Development Goals related to gender equality.
