To  develop  a  conceptual  framework  and  a  suitable  methodology  for  designing  and conducting  time  use  studies  in  India  on  a  regular  basis.  Also,  to  evolve  a  methodology  to estimate  labour force\/work force  in the country and  to estimate  the value of unpaid work  in  the economy in a satellite account. \n\n2.  To infer policy\/programme implications from the analysis of the data on (a) distribution of paid and unpaid work among men and women  in  rural and urban areas,  (b) nature of unpaid work of women  including  the drudgery of  their work and (c) sharing of household work by men and women for gender equity. \n\n3.  To analyze  the  time use pattern of  the  individuals  to understand  the nature of  their work so as to draw inference for employment and welfare programmes for them. \n\n4.  To analyze the data of the time use pattern of the specific section of the population such as children and  women to draw inferences for welfare policies for them. \n\n5.  To collect and analyze  the  time use pattern of people  in  the selected states  in  India  in order  to have a comprehensive  information about  the  time  spent by people on marketed and non-marketed  economic  activities  covered  under  the  1993-SNA,  non  marketed  non-SNA activities  covered  under  the General Production Boundary  and  on  personal  care  and  related activities that cannot be delegated to others. \n\n6. To use  the data  in generating more reliable estimates on work force and national  income as per 1993 SNA, and in computing the value of unpaid work through separate satellite account,\n\nKeeping  in view  the  importance of  the survey  for  India and our specific socio-economic situation  similar  to  other  developing  countries,  this  survey  was  conducted  using   own financial,  technical  and  manpower  resources.  Moreover,  to  ensure  capacity  building  for conducting such surveys on a  regular basis,  this survey was conducted by utilizing  the official statistical system machinery.","coll_dates":[{"start":"1998-07","end":"1999-06","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"India","abbreviation":"IND"}],"geog_coverage":"Six States and their Urban and Rural area","analysis_unit":"Households","universe":"All residential Households of Six States.","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"In this survey information were collected about  the  household  size,  possession  of  agricultural  land,  religion  of  the  household,  structure  of  the houses, head  of  households,  etc thru\n Block-1 of the schedule. \n\nBlock-2 covered particulars regarding the age, sex, marital status, educational level, industrial and occupational characteristics of the members of the selected households were collected. As the activity pattern of the household members gets affected due to presence of a disabled member in the household. information about the presence of disabled member in the household was also collected. Similarly. on state level no good data are available about the extent of participation of women in the household decision making. With the present day emphasis on empowerment of women, this information is very vital. Therefore, an attempt was also made to enquire from females aged 18 years above whether they were participating in the decision making in the household. The participation was judged by considering\"\" their involvement in the purchase of durable consumer goods in the household.\n\n Block-3 was devoted entirely for time Disposition of Persons on Selected Days of the Week \n\nAfter careful consideration interviewing method rather than diary or observation method was adopted for collection of data . A reference period of one week was adopted for collecting the data. With a view to capture the variation in the activity pattern, data were collected for three types of days namely, normal, weekly variant and abnormal. Further, data for each type of these days were collected with a recall lapse of only one-day"},"method":{"data_collection":{"sampling_procedure":"The sampling design adopted in the survey was three stage stratified design. The first, second and third stages were the district, villages\/urban blocks and households. Proper stratification of the districts in the selected states were done using the population density and proportion of tribal population to ensure capturing of the variability in the population. In the villages\/urban blocks also sub-stratification was adopted to ensure representation of all types of households in the Survey.\n\nThe total number of  households  covered  in  the  sample  was  18,628  planned.\nThe total sample size of 18,628 households  were first distributed in proportion to the total number of estimated households as per the 1993-94 survey of the National Sample Survey Organisation.  No. of first stage units (villages and sample blocks) were determined using the initial sample size to be allocated to each state and by assuming that in each f.s.u. , 12 households will be surveyed. The number of f.s.u. so arrived at was adjusted to be multiple of 8 as atleast 2 f.s.u. each may be covered in 4 sub-rounds. \n\nSelection of villages : All the villages in the selected district were grouped in 3 categories namely large (population above 1200), medium (population between 400 to 1200) and small(population less than 400) . The total rural sample was distributed in three stratum in proportion to the population in the three stratum. In\ncase any stratum was not applicable in a particular district, the allocated sample was distributed in the remaining stratum only. If more than one village was to be selected in the particular stratum , then villages-were selected using circular systematic sampling with probability proportional to the population. If all the three strata were present then minimum sample size allotted in each stratum was 2. \n\nSelection of urban sample blocks : All the towns in the selected district were grouped in 3 categories namely large(population more than 2 lakhs), medium(population between 50000 to 2 lakhs) and small (population  less than 50000) . The total urban sample was distributed in three stratum in proportion to the population in the three stratum.  In case any stratum was not applicable in a particular district, the allocated sample was distributed in the remaining stratum only. If more than one sample block was to be selected in the particular stratum, then ufs blocks in each of the towns were presented by investigator unit and ufs\nblocks no.  The requisite number of ufs blocks  were then selected by using circular systematic sampling with equal probability.   If all the three strata were present then minimum sample size allocated in each stratum was 2 due to this, in some cases, overall urban sample size allotted in a particular district might have increased. \n\nAs no previous survey was conducted on this topic and methodologies to be used were not firmed up, it was decided to conduct this survey on a pilot basis. However, to ensure the use of data collected in the pilot survey also, a proper sampling procedure was followed. \n\nRefer the attached document named 'Report' attached under external resource","sampling_deviation":"There was no deviation from the original sample deviation.","coll_mode":["Face-to-face [f2f]"],"research_instrument":"The  final questionnaire used  in  the  survey was evolved after a number of discussion with  the academic  experts  and  the  practising  survey  statisticians.

As the survey was to be conducted  in 6 States, the strength of the NGO  in  terms of  skilled manpower was  an  important  consideration. As  it was difficult  to  identify such a NGO, it was decided to involve, Directorate of Economics and Statistics of the respective States in this exercise. These organisations already conduct  large scale surveys and have their offices  located at the districts and block  level. Moreover,  they also have  the data processing  facilities. The use of  these organisations helped  in  fast  training of  the already experienced  investigators,  reduction  in  the cost of the  survey due  to  short distance  travel  involved by  the  investigators, avoidance of  the  involvement of another agency for the data entry and processing work. The  involvement of these agencies also helped in the capacity building in these organisations.","act_min":"To  provide  technical  guidance  for  various  activities  in  the  Survey  a  Technical  Advisory Committee  (TAC) was constituted under  the Chairmanship of Prof.  Indira Hirway, a non-official expert from Centre for Development Alternatives, Ahmedabad.   The composition and term of reference of the TAC are given at Annexure-I.     A number of meetings of the TAC was held to finalise the questionnaire, sampling design, tabulation plan etc.  The members of the TAC also visited the field to see the quality of field work.      The  officers  of  the  Central  Statistical Organization  involved with  this  Survey  frequently inspected  the  field work.    For each  State participating  in  the  Survey,  a Technical Advisory Committee was  also  constituted which  has  the  representation  of  non-official members  also.      These  State  level \nAdvisory  Committees were  also  requested  to meet  every  quarter  to  sort  out  the  local  problems  and  provide the guidance.
