CLASSIFICATION ACTIVITIES FOR
TIME-USE STATISTICS
•A tool to plan, carry out, process and disseminate statistics and
indicators on time use for its analysis, and public policies and
programs with a gender perspective.
•Hierarchical classification of all activities that the general
population may spend time on during the 24 hours of a day.
•Its main purpose is to provide a set of activity categories that
can be utilized in producing meaningful statistics on time use.
•Help obtain consistent statistics, which are comparable across
countries.
International: ICATUS
Regional: CAUTAL
CLASSIFICATION ACTIVITIES FOR
TIME-USE STATISTICS
Time use classifications should
•Be detailed enough to identify separately activities
mainly undertaken by women or by men.
•Allow the distinction between market work, non-
market work, domestic activities and volunteer work
and enable the provision of data that can be linked to
official statistics emanating from the SNA and labour
statistics frameworks.
ICATUS
International Classification of Activities for Time-Use
Statistics
•Uses SNA as a basic framework
•Distinguishes between:
– productive activities within SNA
– productive activities outside SNA
– personal activities. •Is under revision
– issued as a “trial”
– reflect comments received
– update terminology

System of National Accounts, the new standards for
labour statistics that have widened the concept of work
and takes as reference the ICATUS 2012.
