How have time use surveys been used in developing countries to inform their data development agenda?

Time use studies have been used historically to depict people’s daily lives and help decision makers understand the impact of major shifts in home technologies, demographic patterns, employment and labor policies, and gender norms.

Invisible No More (Volume 1) reviews recent usage of time use surveys and derives methodological and policy lessons by examining the link between data and policy and the extent to which these surveys have shaped public policies, including care policies since the 1970s.
