Abstract

Time-use surveys are data collection tools that quantitatively measure the time women and men allocate to paid and unpaid work activities in a typical day or week. These surveys provide information on the unpaid work activities that burden women more than men, such as unpaid care work. These unpaid work burdens hinder women’s participation in the labour force and contribute to the gender gap in labour markets. Hence, these surveys produce information crucial in designing social and economic policies aimed at reducing gender inequality in employment and labour market participation.
