3. Time Use Survey overview The first New Zealand survey was conducted in 98/99 The Time Use Survey is scheduled to run every 8 to 10 years The current 2009-10 Time Use Survey:- - was in the field from September 2009 to August 2010- it is aiming to achieve 8,500 respondents- the first results will be available in June 2011

4. Time Use Survey Research Questions Work life balance: How do people divide their time between paid work, unpaid work, family and leisure? How do people schedule their paid work and where do they do it? How socially connected are people with their family, friends, from inside and outside their household? How much does unpaid work contribute to the New Zealand economy? How do people spend their leisure time? Who’s caring for whom, for how much time and where?

5. Information That We WillGet From The Time Use Survey We will be able to value unpaid work How much time people spend- on childcare- on travel, and how they travel- on exercising and who does it- with their family How long people sleep and how they schedule it Information on work-life balance Time spent in school and other types of education Unpaid work patterns among different New Zealanders When people work Compare the new data with the 98/99 Time Use Survey

6. How people complete their time use survey The survey is made up of- a household questionnaire (HQ),- a personal questionnaire (PQ) and- a diary The household and personal questionnaires are completed by interviewers electronically and make up the electronic questionnaire (EQ) The householders fill out the Diaries

7. The Interview process • First visit • Interviewer conducts Household Questionnaire • Hands out up to 2 diaries to different people in the household and arranges a date to return to collect them • Second visit: when diaries are complete • Does Personal Questionnaire • Goes through diary to check that it is complete • Goes through diary asking the diary interview questions on each page

8. First Visit:Household Questionnaire (HQ) • Interviewers conduct a household questionnaire • They collect information on: • Everyone’s relationships in the household i.e. husband, sister, brother etc., and • Age, Sex, Ethnicity, Income • Household ownership status • Use of paid services for the household

9. Second Visit: Personal Questionnaire (PQ) Is collected by the interviewers when they return to the household to collect the diary Collects information on various topics includingunpaid work activities in the previous 4 weeks

10. What’s written in the diary • People write down for each point during 48 hours: • the main thing they were doing • anything else they were doing at the same time • where they were or how they were travelling • who they were with

11. What’s written in the diary – continued... • The Interviewer’s query: • who they do things for • whether they are responsible for the care of a child or an adult • whether they are doing paid work and • They fill in any gaps

14. Things that worked well in the collection Face-to face interviewer training by experts, and a “home study” for interviewers It was not too hard to get respondents to participate Older people loved the survey - someone to talk to Those doing voluntary work liked it being recorded Children felt included Having a diary example page, and having another children's example page Having the diary start time as 4am was a relief to respondents – they could start with something nice and easy - recording "sleep"

15. Things that could be improved next time Some interviewers were not confident on the purpose of the survey Having 12 year olds in the survey(maybe we get parental approval before interviewing a child) Interviewers needed more training on the more complex aspects of the diaries, for example:-- the “alone” column for “who else was with you”(hard to explain that it was what each respondent perceived - could have 2 people each seeing same situation differently) - what to do with activities that took less that 5 minutes- how to record multi activities (some interviewers assumed there was a priority for some types of activities, since there are only 2 columns for activities) some respondents didn't like the intrusiveness of the diaries Handling the paper diaries, for example - some got lost There could have been a thank you letter to respondents at the end(because of the high respondent burden)
