Survey Data
CTUR collects diary-based time-use data from around the world. We develop new research instruments (including online- and smartphone-based diaries) and devise ways of combining diaries with passive instrumentation such as worn cameras, accelerometers and GOS. We harmonise diary surveys collected by others, and make these materials available to researchers around the world through the Multinational Time Use Study (MTUS).
CTUR has a long-term partnership with colleagues in the Centre for Population Studies, University of Maryland (Sandra Hofferth, Liana Sayer and Sarah Flood), contributing time use data (the American Heritage Time Use Study and part of the MTUS) to the IPUMS Time Use data download site.
