National Statistical Office (NSO) in India conducted the first Time Use Survey during January – December 2019. The survey measures the participation rate and time spent on paid activities, care activities, unpaid activities, etc.
The primary objective of Time Use Survey (TUS) is to measure participation of men and women in paid and unpaid activities. TUS is an important source of information on the time spent in unpaid caregiving activities, volunteer work, unpaid domestic service producing
activities of the household members. It also provides information on time spent on learning, socializing, leisure activities, self-care activities, etc., by the household members.
The Time Use Survey, 2019 has the following features:
(i) In this survey, information on activity particulars was collected for each household member of age 6 years and above, with a reference period of 24 hours starting from 4:00 AM on the day before the date of interview to 4:00 AM on the day of the interview. The reference period of 24 hours was split into 48 time slots, each of duration of 30 minutes.
(ii) The Information on time use for the reference period was collected through personal interview from the persons of age 6 years and above of the selected households.
(iii)Respondents were asked about their activities performed in the designated time slots and the same was recorded against the corresponding slot. In case of multiple activities in a time slot the activities which were performed for 10 minutes or more were recorded.
(iv) The activities reported by the respondents, were codified (3-digit code) following the International Classification of Activities for Time Use Statistics 2016 (ICATUS 2016).The cla ssification is referred to as TUS activity classification in this Report. The code
structure and description of the 3-digit code of the TUS activity classification are given in Annexure in Chapter Two.
(v) Determination of activity performed in a day and time spent in a day in that activity have been done in the following ways:
a. Considering only the major activity in a time slot: While considering only the major activity in a time slot, the entire duration of the time in that time slot has been allotted to the major activity and the major activity was considered as the activity performed in that time slot.
b. Considering all the activities in a time slot: While considering all the activities performed in a time slot, the entire duration of time in a time slot has been assigned among the activities in a time slot in the following ways:
If in a time slot only one activity was performed, the entire duration of that time slot was allotted against that activity.
If in a time slot more than one activity was performed, the entire duration of that time slot was allotted equally among the activities performed in that time slot.
The survey covered the whole of the Indian Union except the villages in Andaman and Nicobar Islands which are difficult to access.

M/o STATISTICS & PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION |
In Time Use Survey (TUS), a rural village was notionally divided into a number of subunits (SU) of more or less equal population during the preparation of frame. Census 2011 population of villages was projected by applying suitable growth rates and the number of SUs formed in a village was determined apriori. The above procedure of SU formation was implemented in the villages with population more than or equal to 1000 as per Census 2011. In the remaining villages, no SU was formed. SUs were formed in urban sector also. The procedure was similar to that adopted in rural areas except that SUs were formed on the basis of households in the Urban Frame Survey (UFS) frame instead of population, since UFS frame does not have population. Each UFS block with number of households more than or equal to 250 was divided into a number of SUs. In the remaining UFS blocks, no SU was formed.
A stratified two stage design was adopted for the TUS. The first stage units (FSU) were villages/UFS blocks/sub-units (SUs) as per the situation. The ultimate stage units (USU) were households in both the sectors.
In the rural areas, stratification was made as follows: (a) all inhabited villages within each NSS State region constituted a rural stratum and (b) a special stratum, in the rural areas only, was formed at all-India level before the strata are formed in each State/UT. This stratum comprised all the uninhabited villages as per Census 2011 belonging to allStates/U Ts. In urban areas strata were formed within each NSS State region on the basis of size class of towns as per Census 2011.
Sub-Stratification in rural areas: In rural areas, three groups of villages were formed within each stratum (except special rural stratum) as follows:
Group 1: all villages (Panchayat wards for Kerala) with Census 2011 population less than 250
Group 2: all villages (Panchayat wards for Kerala) with Census 2011 population more than or equal to 250 but less than 500
Group 3: remaining villages
The sample size for a rural stratum was allocated among 3 groups in proportion to Census population. Sub-strata was demarcated in Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 respectively in such a way that each sub-stratum comprises a group of villages (all SUs of a village considered together) of the arranged frame and have more or less equal Census population within the respective group.
Sub-Stratification in urban areas: Sub-strata were demarcated in such a way that eachsub-stratum comprised a group of UFS blocks (all SUs within the block taken together)having more or less equal number of households.
A total of 10004 FSUs were allocated for TUS, 2019 at all-India level. The total number of sample FSUs were allocated to the States and UTs in proportion to their population as per Census 2011 subject to a minimum sample allocation of 16 FSUs for each State/UT.
