Time Use Survey

A Time Use Survey is a research method that collects detailed information about how people spend their time during the day. Participants record their activities—such as working, commuting, leisure, or household chores—and how long they spend on each. This data helps researchers understand patterns in daily life, assess the distribution of work and leisure, and inform policies on employment, work-life balance, and social services. By analyzing these activities, experts gain insights into societal trends and how different groups allocate their time.
