Design
Purpose:
The Ministry of Women's Affairs commissioned the Time Use Survey (TUS) to obtain accurate national estimates of the population's use of time. The data collection was undertaken between July 1998 and June 1999. The overall objectives of the survey were:
1. To measure the amount of time people aged 12 years and over spend on the main categories and sub-categories of activity.
2. To determine whether significant differences in time use exist between different population groups.
3. To determine the proportionate allocation of time to various activities.
4. To provide information on the context in which people undertake various activities and whether other activities are taking place simultaneously.
5. To provide data to improve significantly the estimates of the contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the Domestic Services of Households industry and the employment component of the contribution to GDP in the Non-Profit Institutions Serving Households sector within the national accounts.
6. To provide time use data for New Zealand which is internationally comparable at a broad level of the activity classification which focuses on the four basic categories of contracted time. committed time, necessary time and free time.
While time use data is of great interest to researchers in a general social sense, the real drivers of an official survey are the uses of the information by government agencies, particularly those involved in advising on, implementing and monitoring government policy. By providing a data source unlike any other currently available, time use data will enhance the quality of policy advice in relation to the achievement of Strategic Result Areas and will improve the accuracy of the forecasting and scoping of potential policy outcomes. The main policy issues which time use data will inform are:
- unpaid work (the amount undertaken and the extent to which this supports the economy and the general functioning of society)
- paid employment (the relationship between different uses of time and the factors which hinder or help people's participation in the paid work force)
- health (the amount of "caring" work done in New Zealand and the activities people do which impact on health status)
- income support (the use of time by recipients of government income support)
- education and training (how much is being undertaken and by whom)
- Mäori (use of time by Mäori people, differences in time use from the wider population, and factors which may impede Maori's full participation in various types of social and economic activity).
General Information ..Population
The survey population for the TUS was defined as the civilian, usually resident, non-institutionalised population aged 12 years and over residing in private households. In addition, people living on offshore islands (except Waiheke Island) were excluded. This is similar to the population definition for other SNZ household surveys.
The following people were thus excluded:
· long-term residents of old people’s homes, hospitals and psychiatric institutions;
· inmates of penal institutions;
· those living in other non-private dwellings;
· members of the permanent armed forces;
· overseas diplomats;
· overseas visitors who expect to be usually resident in New Zealand for less than 12 months; and
· people living on offshore islands (except Waiheke Island)
Sample size
7,200 households were selected into the TUS sample from the 752 Household Economic Survey (HES) Primary Sampling Units (PSUs). An additional 150 screening PSUs were selected to ensure that the sample had sufficient Mäori. Of these 150 screening PSUs, the 1996 Census results indicated that 2087 households contained at least one Mäori aged 12 or over. This gave a total expected sample size of approximately 8,500 people.

Under Coverage
No particular under-coverage issues have been identified.
The TUS has three questionnaires. They are:
· Household Form and Questionnaire 
This is one form divided into two parts. The first part is the Household Form. This is used for identifying and selecting eligible respondents. It also collects demographic information about the household. The second part is the Household Questionnaire. This is designed to collect basic information about the household – in particular ownership of the dwelling, availability of appliances and motor vehicles, and use of specified ‘home-help’ services. Household non-participation information is also recorded on this form. Both parts of this form collect information about the household, as opposed to individual respondents, and are interviewer administered.
· Personal Questionnaire
This questionnaire obtains detailed information on the respondent. It collects demographic, labour force, income, and education data. This is also interviewer administered.
· 48-Hour Diary
The respondents were asked to record their activities over a 48-hour period in this diary. Interviewers then asked questions printed on the diary to elicit further information about the activities undertaken. This approach was adopted because of the level of detail required about the context of the activities undertaken such as characteristics of who activities were done for, and whether people were available for care of household members.
Output Variables
Output variables are pieces of individual information that can be extracted from the survey/output data. Often output variables can be cross tabulated with other output variables, for example sales by industry classification. The list below contains all current and past output variables which have been released for this survey/output.
The main variables used in the 50 standard tables are outlined below.
Table Specifications
All but three of the fifty tables are of the "average minutes per day" type. (The other three are tables 22, 31 and 48, and these are specified below.) Some tables relate just to primary activity, others sum all activities, and yet others show primary and simultaneous activities separately. Some tables present figures for time averaged across the whole population aged 12 and over living in private households, while others are averaged just across participants (those people reporting some time against the particular activity on one of their diary days).
Forty-seven "average minutes per day" tables
 | Averaged across whole population aged 12 and over living in private households | Averaged across participants only |
| Primary activities | Tables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 16, 19, 23, 24, 25, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 49 and 50
(in these tables averages will total 1,440 minutes in a 24-hour day) | Tables 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 17, 20 |
| All activities | Table 42 | Tables 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 21, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 |

| Primary activities and simultaneous activities separately | Tables 28, 29, 30 | |
| All travel activities | Tables 26, 27 | |
| | |
| TOTAL | 28 tables | 19 tables |
Average minutes per day on activity z (averaged over the whole population)
Participation day average for activity z (on a day when someone does activity z, how many minutes do they spend on activity z, on average)
Primary activities
Where more than one activity is reported in the same time slot in the diary (ie in the same episode), primary activity is determined by using this ranking of the second level of the activity classification:
1st 01 Personal care
2nd 02 Labour force activity
3rd 03 Education and training
4th 05 Caregiving for household members
5th 04 Household work
6th 06 Purchasing goods and services for own household
7th 07 Unpaid work outside of the home
8th 08 Religious, cultural and civic participation
9th 09 Social entertainment
10th 10 Sports and hobbies
11th 11 Mass media and free time activities
12th 99 Residual
If a respondent has listed as occurring simultaneously more than one activity from within the same activity group, then primary activity is to be determined using the following priority order of altered three- and four-digit codes:

NB. 052 is right at the bottom of this list because it can only ever be a secondary activity.
All activities means counting all activities in each episode in the diary.
The eleven activity groups are those identified at the 2-digit level of the activity classification. Tables will need to show all these categories, plus a "not elsewhere included" category (to take account of total residual responses - ie. unidentifiable, out-of-scope and unspecified activities). Output categories are as follows:
01 Personal care
02 Labour force activity
03 Education and training
04 Household work
05 Caregiving for household members
06 Purchasing goods and services for own household
07 Unpaid work outside of the home
08 Religious, cultural and civic participation
09 Social entertainment
10 Sports and hobbies
11 Mass media and free time activities
plus
99 Not elsewhere included (which combines unidentifiable, out-of-scope and unspecified responses)
The four major types of time are aggregated groupings of activity groups (ie aggregations of the activity classification at the two-digit level).
Necessary time = 01 Personal care
Contracted time = 02 Labour force activity, plus
03 Education and training
Committed time = 04 Household work, plus
05 Caregiving for household members, plus
06 Purchasing goods and services for own household, plus

Total All "Non-profit organisation (excluding Maori)" codes
Not elsewhere included (codes 8 (Response unidentifiable) and 9 (Not stated)
TOTAL (which includes all categories listed above)
NB. Where a combination of "who for" codes is used, and one of them is an "8" or a "9", this data can generally be used only in the calculation of the "total" measure. The only exception to this is where one of the known codes relates to a child. In this case, the data can be included in the appropriate "combination involving at least one child" category.
Age of children cared for and illness/disability status of adults being cared for in table 34 comes from the coding of "who for" against activity code 0521 in the diary.
Wherever activity code 0521 has been used, the interviewer will have asked which household members who could not be left alone the respondent was responsible for.
Relevant codes from the "who for" classification in this table are:
111 Household child 0-4
112 Household child 5-13
122 Household adult - temporarily ill or injured (illness or injury effects expected to last less than six months)
123 Household adult - has disability (limitation or condition lasting or expected to last six months or more)
Output categories are as follows:
Child 0 - 4 years
Child 5 - 13 years
Combination involving at least one child (111 or 112 with another who for code)
Adult (with illness or disability lasting less than six months)
Adult (with illness or disability lasting six months or more)
Combination of adults (122 or 123 with another who for code, not a child's)
Total (ie including all four categories above)
Age of children cared for and illness/disability status of adults being cared for in table 35 comes from the coding of "who for" against activity code 072 (ie 0721, 0722, 0728 and 0729) in the diary.
Wherever activity code 072 has been used, the interviewer will have asked which non-household members who could not be left alone the respondent was responsible for.
Relevant codes from the "who for" classification are:
21 Non-household child nfd
21 Non-household child 0-4
212 Non-household child 5-13
22 Non-household adult nfd
221 Non-household adult - well (with no disability)
222 Non-household adult - temporarily ill or injured (illness or injury effects expected to last less than six months)
223 Non-household adult - has disability (limitation or condition lasting or expected to last six months or more)
These form the output categories, in a slightly altered order, as follows:
Code Output category
211 Child 0 - 4 years
212 Child 5 - 13 years
211 or 212 + another Combination involving at least one child
21 Child (nfd)
221 Adult (well)
222 Adult (with illness or disability lasting less than six months)
223 Adult (with illness or disability lasting six months or more)
221, 222 or 223 + another Combination of adults
22 Adult (nfd)
Total (ie including all the categories above)
NB. Where a combination of "who for" codes is used, and one of them is an "8" or a "9", this data can generally be used only in the calculation of the "total" measure. The only exception to this is where one of the known codes relates to a child. In this case, the data can be included in the appropriate "combination involving at least one child" category.
Type of organisation through which work is done in table 36 comes from the coding of "who for" against activity 071 in the diary.
Relevant codes from the "who for" classification are:
3 Maori-based committee, organisation, grouping etc
eg iwi, hapu, whanau group, marae committee or marae group, Ropu, Runanga or Trust Board, Maori cultural group, Maori sports group, Maori land owners' group, Maori land claimants' group, Kohanga Reo, Kura Kaupapa, Maori wardens
4 Non-profit organisation (excluding Maori-based committee, organisation, grouping etc)
41 Disability support and health related services
eg CCS, IHC, hospices, Order of St John, Heart Foundation etc
42 Social support and assistance to individuals and whanau/families, including information and advice services eg Church social service organisations, Birthright, CABs etc
43 Education
eg Boards of Trustees, ESOL groups, Adult Reading and Literacy Assn

Number of jobs in table 39 comes from Question 17 of the Personal Questionnaire (ie how many jobs the respondent has other than the one just described as Job 1).
If the answer to Question 17 = 0, respondent has one job
If the answer to Question 17 = 1, respondent has two jobs
If the answer to Question 17 = 2 or more, respondent has 3 or more jobs
Ouput categories are:
People working in one job
People working in two jobs

If respondent has answered code 0 (ie don't have usual hours) for Question 15, or 23 or 30, but the number of hours worked from the sum of those questions is already 50 or more, they can be coded as working 50+ hours per week.
If respondent has answered code 0 for Questions 15, or 23 or 30, and specified hours worked from the sum of those questions do not equal 50 or more, number of hours worked per week cannot be allocated. These respondents should be excluded from any calculation of average time by number of hours worked per week, however they should be included in any calculation of average time across total employed people.
Average minutes per day are shown for each of the 11 activity groups plus Not Elsewhere Included (99). Subtotals for the four major types of time are also included.
Section J tables
Tables 41 and 42 contain an extra column of information, namely the estimated percentage of people in the eligible population. This comes from the weighted survey estimate of the percentage of households in New Zealand with and without each of the listed appliances or services.
Presence of appliances/services in own household occurs in tables 41 and 42. Output categories consist of a list of appliances and services, with a "Yes" and a "No" for each to indicate whether respondents have them in their household.
Information comes from Questions 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 on the Household Questionnaire, and Questions 1 and 2 on the back page of the Diary, as follows:
NB: For the first 11 items in this list (from Question 4 of the Household Questionnaire), there is not an option for "No" unless the entire list of appliances is missing from the household in which case the code 0 is entered. If the appliance is contained in the household, the appropriate box is ticked and the relevant code is recorded but if the appliance is not present, the box is left blank.
Presence of appliance/service | Questionnaire | Question | Code |

Section K tables
Income in table 43 means the respondent's personal annual income.
It comes from Question 41 of the Personal Questionnaire.
Output categories are aggregations of the coded answer options, as follows:
Output categories Coded responses
$5,000 or less = 1 no income or loss
+ 2 $5,000 or less per year
$5,001 - $10,000 = 3 $5,001 - $10,000
$10,001 - $15,000 = 4 $10,001 - $15,000
$15,001 - $25,000 = 5 $15,001 - $25,000
$25,001 - $40,000 = 6 $25,001 - $40,000
$40,001 and over = 7 $40,001 and over
Total = all respondents, regardless of whether income is specified
If code 8 (don't know) is allocated, the respondent should be excluded from any calculation in this table except for average time across the total population.
Highest educational qualification in table 44 means people are counted only once in the table. It comes from Questions 43, 44, 45, 46 and 47 of the Personal Questionnaire.
Output categories are:
No qualification
School qualification
Post-school but no school qualification
Post-school and school qualification
Total (all qualifications categories)
No qualification = Q43=No and (Q44=No or Q45=No or Q46=No or Q47=No)
School qualification = Q43=Yes and (Q44=No or Q45=No or Q46=No or Q47=No)
Post-school but no school qualification = Q43=No and Q47=Yes.
Post-school and school qualification = Q43=Yes and Q47=Yes.
Total = all respondents, regardless of whether or not their educational qualification status was able to be determined.
Household composition features in table 45. It is more accurately described as "household composition by age of child(ren)". There are 9 output categories, including Total (all household types).
| Code | Household Composition by Age of Child(ren) | Family Code | Number

Whether partnered in table 46 comes from Question 1 of the Personal Questionnaire.
There are three output categories: Partnered, Non-partnered, and Total.
In question 1, code 1 = partnered
Code 2 = non-partnered
Total = both partnered and non-partnered people, including respondents whose partnership status was not specified or could not be determined.
Age of youngest child in table 47 refers to the age of the youngest child in the respondent's family.
This is taken from the Household Form.
Output categories are:
0 - 4 years
5 - 13 years
14 - 17 years
18 years or more
Total (children of all ages)
Note: / represents a tick in column number three in the household grid while 0 represents no tick

Section M tables
Table 49 is a multi-way cross-tabulation which includes sex, Maori/non-Maori, and age.
Note: Age of respondent in table 49 has different output categories from other tables. These are:
12 - 24
25 - 44
45 +
Total
Table 50 is a three-way cross-tabulation which includes sex and ethnic group. Ethnic group comes from the Household Form and respondents could choose up to three. For this table, respondents are double counted in that their data is used in calculations involving every ethnic group they have indicated. However, there are two exceptions:
- if a respondent has indicated more than one code from within the same 1-digit ethnic group (eg Samoan and Cook Island Maori), then their data is used only once to calculate average time spent by that group;
- when the "All females", "All males" or "All people" rows are calculated, respondents' data is used only once.
Responses and corresponding output categories are as follows:
Responses Output categories (at the 1-digit ethnic group)
11 New Zealand European / Pakeha European
12 Other European
21 New Zealand Maori Maori
31 Samoan Pacific Islands
32 Cook Island Maori
33 Tongan
34 Niuean
35 Tokelauan
36 Fijian
37 Other Pacific Islands
41 Southeast Asian Asian
42 Chinese
43 Indian
44 Other Asian
50 Other Other
Tables D 22, H 31 and L 48
Table 22
This table comes from Question 2 of the Personal Questionnaire, which is answered only by those respondents who answered Yes (code 1) to Question 1.
The estimated number of people comes from the number of responses x their weights.
The percent figure comes from the estimated number of people in a category divided by the weighted estimate of the total number of partnered people in the same category multiplied by 100.
In Question 2 respondents provide indications of whether they feel they have spent more, the same, or less time than their partners on a list of eight activities.
The activities are:
- food preparation and clean up
- other indoor household work
- gardening and outdoor work
- home repairs
- vehicle maintenance
- shopping for the household
- child care of household children
- physical care of household hold members who are sick or have a disability.
Code 1 = more time, code 2 = the same time, code 3 = less time, and code 4 = not applicable.
Output categories are:
More
Same
Less
Not Applicable
Total
Table 31
This table comes from Question 31 and Question 32 of the Personal Questionnaire.
The estimated number of people comes from the number of responses x their weights.
Data on the number of people who have done work for people in their own household comes from Q 31. Respondents could tick all categories that apply so some people will be doubled-counted in the table because they indicated having done two or more of the listed activities.
Output categories (and corresponding codes from Question 31) are:
1 looking after a child
2 cooking or other household work
3 gardening or repairs
4 shopping
5 coaching, training, teaching or helping with schoolwork
6 looking after a person needing special care
7 other things
0 none of these
Data on the number of people who have done work for people outside their own household comes from Q 32. Respondents could tick all categories that apply so the table will double-count people (except in the "Total" column) because they have indicated doing more than one of the listed activities.
Categories of activity (and output categories) are listed in this order:
- looking after a child
- household work
- gardening or repairs
- shopping
- coaching, training, teaching, or helping with schoolwork
- looking after a person needing special care
- attending a committee meeting, organising, doing administration or policy work
- fund-raising work, selling or similar
- other things without pay
Total
NB. The "Total" column should not just total up the other categories and provide a double-counted total; instead it should count individuals once only and provide a total of the people who have done unpaid work for people outside their household in the four weeks before their interview.
Table 48
This table comes from Question 5 on the back page of the 48-hour diary.
The estimated number of people comes from the number of responses x their weights.
The percent figure comes from the estimated number of people in a category divided by the weighted estimate of the total number of people in the same category multiplied by 100.
Output categories and code numbers for activities are as follows:
1 Worked at hui for some purpose relevant to Maori

Sampling Errors ..The level of sample error for any given variable will depend on the number of sampled individuals in the category of interest and the design effect for that variable. The design effect measures the performance of a complex sample design. It is the ratio of the variance under the complex sample design divided by the variance under simple random sampling. The TUS design uses clusters of households within Primary Sampling Units (PSU’s) and of people within households.
Sample errors for key production tables will be produced using an analytical formula for the sample variance.
Non-sampling errors These include errors arising from biases in the patterns of response and non-response, inaccuracies in reporting by respondents and errors in the recording and coding of data.

Participants vs All Persons
Tables referring to 'participants' average time on activities are based only on those people who did the activity on the day. Tables on 'all persons' give average time spent on activities, whether or not people did the activity.
Primary Activities vs All Activities
In tables referring to 'all activities' the same person may be simultaneously doing more than one activity. In tables referring to 'primary activities' only one activity is used even when simultaneous activities are done. A priority list, documented in the section Output Variables below, determines which activity is assigned as primary for simultaneous activities.

Glossary of Terms
Activity groups
The 11 categories of activity at the two-digit level of the activity classification.
01 Personal care
02 Labour force activity
03 Education and training
04 Household work
05 Caregiving for household members
06 Purchasing goods and services for own household
07 Unpaid work outside of the home
08 Religious, cultural and civic participation
09 Social entertainment
10 Sports and hobbies
11 Mass media and free time activities
All activities
The total of every activity in every episode in the diary, regardless of whether some occurred at the same time as others.
In tables which show "average minutes per day counting all activities, for all people aged 12 and over living in private households", the sum of all average minutes per day will always exceed 1,440 (or 24 hours) because both primary and simultaneous activities are counted.
Each individual activity
Each of the activities listed at the third-digit level of the activity classification (except for residual categories which are totalled to the second-digit level and called "Not elsewhere included").
It should be noted that sometimes respondents describe an activity too broadly for it to be coded at this level (eg writing "housework" with no further description of the sort of work being done). In these cases, the activity can usually be coded to a 2-digit activity group but no further. This is the reason that in tables averaged over all people aged 12 and over living in private households, sometimes the average time for a total activity group is slightly larger than the sum of all the finer-level codes.
Employed full time
Total hours worked per week (for pay or unpaid in a family business) are 30 or more.
Employed part time
Total hours worked per week (for pay or unpaid in a family business) are between 1 and 29.
Formal unpaid work
Work that is carried out for people living outside the respondent's own household and which is done for or through an organisation or group. The relevant part of the activity classification is:
071 Unpaid work (formal)
0711 Administration (formal)
0712 Training and fundraising (formal)
0713 Service provision (formal)
0718 Travel associated with unpaid work (formal)
0719 Other unpaid work (formal) nec
Informal unpaid work
Work that is carried out for people living outside the respondent's own household and which is not done for or through an organisation or group (eg helping a neighbour or friend). The relevant part of the activity classification is:
072 Unpaid work (informal)
0721 Caring for non-household members (informal)
0722 Helping non-household members (informal)
0728 Travel associated with unpaid work (informal)
0729 Other unpaid work (informal) nec
Mäori
All people who indicated New Zealand Mäori as one of their ethnic groups, regardless of whether any other ethnic group was also specified.
Non-Mäori
People who did not indicate New Zealand Mäori as one of their ethnic groups.
Not elsewhere included
All activities coded to the "Residual" category of the activity classification. This combines diary descriptions of activities which were unidentifiable or out-of-scope, plus times in the diary where no activity was specified.
Numbers of people
Cells in tables which estimate the "number of people" are rounded to the nearest 10.
Participation day average
Participation day average is the average time spent on an activity on days on which people reported doing that activity. This is calculated from the total time spent on activity "x" divided by the total number of days people spent participating in activity "x".
The figures do not represent an average per participant (ie the total time spent on a particular activity divided the number of people who participate in that activity). This is because we do not have a count of all participants. We collected data for only a two-day period and therefore do not know about people who may have participated in an activity on their non-diary days.
Primary activity
Primary activity is not determined by the respondent in that the diary does not allow for identification of primary and secondary activities. Rather, the order has been determined by MWA in conjunction with SNZ, using the four major types of time and prioritising activity groups and individual activities within those larger categories.
Where more than one activity is reported in the same time slot, primary activity is determined by this ranking of the second level of the activity classification:
1st 01 Personal care
2nd 02 Labour force activity
3rd 03 Education and training
4th 05 Caregiving for household members
5th 04 Household work
6th 06 Purchasing goods and services for own household
7th 07 Unpaid work outside of the home
8th 08 Religious, cultural and civic participation
9th 09 Social entertainment
10th 10 Sports and hobbies
11th 11 Mass media and free time activities
12th 99 Residual
If more than one activity from the same activity group is reported in the same time slot, primary activity is determined using a priority order of three- and four-digit codes.
In tables which show "average minutes per day counting only primary activities, for all people aged 12 and over living in private households", the sum of all average minutes per day = 1,440 (or 24 hours).
Rural
Living in a centre of fewer than 10,000 people.
Simultaneous activity
An activity which is recorded at the same time in the diary as another activity and which is determined not to be the primary activity in that time slot.
Types of time
Aggregations of activity groups to four major categories of time, as below:
Necessary time = 01 Personal care
Contracted time = 02 Labour force activity, plus
03 Education and training
Committed time = 04 Household work, plus
05 Caregiving for household members, plus
06 Purchasing goods and services for own household, plus
07 Unpaid work outside of the home
Free time = 08 Religious, cultural and civic participation, plus
09 Social entertainment, plus
10 Sports and hobbies, plus
11 Mass media and free time activities
Urban
Living in a centre of 10,000 people or more.
Weekdays
Weekdays are defined as between 4.00 am on Monday and 4.00 am on Saturday.
