dc.description.abstractAt its thirty-second session, held in 2001, the Statistical Commission endorsed the preparation of a guide for producing statistics on measuring paid and unpaid work. On that occasion, the value of time-use statistics was noted, “not only for issues related to gender but also more broadly for quality-of-life concerns, social accounting, care of the elderly, estimates of the workforce and total work accounts”.1 The present Guide is intended as a response to the interest expressed by many countries in the development of methods and concepts in the rapidly evolving field of time-use statistics. As this is an emerging area of social enquiry, many of the unique challenges of time-use surveys have yet to be fully addressed. At the same time, great progress has been made. By offering a wide panorama of national practices and international initiatives in the field of time-use statistics, the present publication seeks to provide further impetus to the development of time-use statistics and assist countries interested in undertaking time-use surveys. The purpose of the Guide is threefold. First, it is conceived as a reference tool for countries interested in conducting time-use surveys. Second, it is aimed at facilitating the harmonization of methods and practices in collecting, processing and disseminating timeuse statistics. Finally it is meant to solicit comments and suggestions on the trial International Classification of Activities for Time-Use Statistics (ICATUS) which will subsequently be revised and ultimately presented for adoption as an international standard classification. Several agencies and national institutions have contributed to this publication. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)2 and the International Development Research Centre/Canada supported this work through the project “Gender Issues and the Measurement of Paid and Unpaid Work”. Time-use experts, national statistics offices and international organizations such as the International Labour Organization (ILO) provided substantive input in the review of the initial draft of the trial ICATUS and the preparation of the technical papers that formed the basis of this Guide. This Guide was drafted by Ms. Margarita Guerrero, a consultant to the United Nations Statistics Division. Chapters VI and IX were drafted by Mr. Graham Kalton and Mr. Mike Brick.en_US
