Integrating a Gender Perspective into Time Use Statistics

Availability of Gender Statistics Many areas related to the contribution of women and men in the economy

Time Use Surveys as Source of Data 

Let’s participate in a TUS

Data Collection Instruments Diary- main instrument for recording data on time use 1)24-hour diary 2)Stylized diary Background information Household questionnaire Individual questionnaire

24 hour diary Writing verbatim descriptions of activities that are coded later on to an activity classification Another version: “Light” diary

24 hour diary Pros Provide more reliable and accurate data More flexible and more powerful for data dissemination Allows to record simultaneous activities Cons More costly in terms of data collection and data coding Burden on the respondents (pressure on the participation rates)

Stylized questionnaires Specific questions where the respondents need to recall the amount of time spent on the related activities. May target specific activities or be designed to be as exhaustive as possible so as to capture a complete period of time (24 hours, a week)

Stylized questionnaires Pros Less expensive Preferable for a specific and short time period Cons High degree of errors ↘“Normative editing”: Under or over reporting of socially marked activities (ex: childcare versus watching television) ↘Memory recall errors ↘Not measuring simultaneous activities: gender bias

Stylized questionnaires vs 24 hour diary: conclusions Go for the 24 hour diary for accuracy –to avoid biases in activity reporting including gender bias. … but heavy financial and technical requirements

Simultaneous Activities “Multi-tasking” Importance to gender statistics? –Many unpaid work activities are done simultaneously Record all? Record two? Record three?

Contextual Variables … describe the conditions in which an activity takes place

From responses to statistics …

“Time Use” … What individuals do or what activities they engage in How much time is spent doing each of these activities Context in which an activity takes place

Time Allocation by Activity

The Classification of Activities Reflects the most recurrent activities at the country level (through pilot or previous survey) Detailed enough to identify separately activities mainly undertaken by women or by men Example: ICATUS ↘Particularly in line with the SNA ↘Oriented to measure unpaid work and set up satellite accounts ↘Trial version since 2005 but finalization in progress (Expert Group Meeting in 2012) Major divisions of ICATUS 2012 (provisional) 1.SNA work and related activities 2.Unpaid domestic services for own final use within household 3.Unpaid caregiving services to household members 4.Community services and help to other households 5.Learning 6.Socializing, community participation and religious practice 7.Leisure and sports 8.Self-care and maintenance

… Summaries Denominator Numerator Total duration of activity Total number of episodes of activity Total number of participants Total number of persons (population) (1) Average duration (2) Average number of episodes (3) Proportion of ‘doers’ Total number of participants (4) Average duration (5) Average number of episodes Total number of episodes of activity (6) Average duration per episode

Implications for Integrating Gender Perspective in Official Statistics Improving the measurement of unpaid activities and household production Reveals activities and social phenomena which are not well captured in traditional statistical system but where inequalities between women and men are numerous and complex –Drastic change of women’s contribution to GDP –Distribution of domestic tasks within the household …

Unpaid Work: Data Limitations of conventional labour statistics: Activities that contribute to the production of goods and services as defined by the SNA and cover mainly market activities and some unpaid non-market activities. Unpaid work referring to own account production of services are outside the general boundary of SNA and therefore not covered at all

SNA production activities General production activities General production boundary SNA production boundary –Cleaning, servicing, repairs –Preparation and serving of meals –Care, training and instruction of children –Care of sick, infirm and elderly –Unpaid volunteer services to other households, community, associations Unpaid Work

Unpaid work Why is it important for gender statistics? Measuring unpaid work is crucial in making the contribution of women to the economy and society more visible. Women, more often than men, tend to be involved and spend a great amount of time in unpaid work in the home and community. When only cash transactions are taken into account in measuring the economic production, a large portion of women’s work remains unaccounted for.

Satellite Accounts Definition: the System of National Accounts recommends the use of supplementary accounts for nonmarket activities rather than the expansion of existing accounts. →Allow for experimentation with changes in scope and measurement. →Consistent and could be used with the existing national accounts without overburdening them

Satellite Accounts Direct application of measuring unpaid work: estimating household production in satellite accounts that extend measurement of gross domestic product (GDP) to include non-SNA production Makes the national accounts more complete and comparable across countries

Valuation is a Challenge

Opportunity Cost Comparison

The position of the contextual variables There are 3 locations to collect contextual variables (diary-based survey):  The diary (for each activity)  The household/individual questionnaire (characteristics of the formal work)  Within the classification (“I cook” vs “I cook for my kids”) The position is strategic because it will determine the scope of the areas that could be covered ↘Example: Unpaid work and Informal Employment
