Basque Region (Spain) and Korean Data on the Way!

We have arranged with the Basque Regional Statistical Office to include their 1992-93, 1997-98, 2002-03 and 2008-09 surveys, as well as with Statistics Korea to include the 1999, 2004 and 2009 Korean Time Use Studies in the MTUS - this data will be added over the next 15 months.

MTUS and AHTUS updates

We are in the process of upgrading the data access pages of both the Multinational Time Use Study and the American Heritage Time Use Study. Improvements will appear in the next few months. We aim to have the next upgrade of the MTUS, including more recent surveys as well as further upgrades of older surveys, by June 2012.
