Description: The ATUS is the Nation’s
first federally administered, continuous
survey on time use in the United States.
It measures, for example, time spent
with children, working, sleeping, or
doing leisure activities. In the United
States, several existing Federal surveys
collect income and wage data for
individuals and families, and analysts
often use such measures of material
prosperity as proxies for quality of life.
Time-use data substantially augment
these quality-of-life measures. The data
also can be used in conjunction with
PO 00000
Frm 00080
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

wage data to evaluate the contribution
of non-market work to national
economies. This enables comparisons of
production between nations that have
different mixes of market and nonmarket activities. The ATUS develops
nationally representative estimates of
how people spend their time.
Respondents also report who was with
them during activities, where they were,
how long each activity lasted, and if
they were paid. All of this information
has numerous practical applications for
sociologists, economists, educators,
government policymakers,
businesspersons, health researchers, and
others.
The ATUS data are collected on an
ongoing, monthly basis, allowing
analysts to identify changes in how
people spend their time. The survey
sample is drawn from households
completing their final month of
interviews for the Current Population
Survey (CPS). Households are selected
to ensure a representative demographic
sample, and one individual from each
household is selected to take part in one
Computer Assisted Telephone
Interview. The interview asks
respondents to report all of their
activities for one pre-assigned 24-hour
day, the day prior to the interview. A
short series of summary questions and
CPS updates follows the core time diary
collection.
