The Time Use Survey 2021/22 was conducted by Statistics Austria on behalf of the Federal Minister for Women, Family, Integration and Media. In the course of the survey, a household questionnaire was completed by each of the 4 342 households that participated, as well as a personal questionnaire by each person over 10 years of age living in the household and a time use diary on two days. In the diaries, all activities were documented in 10-minute units.
The time use survey is a survey of households that provides an insight into people's daily routines. It collects data on how much time is spent on certain activities and who does which activities. The habits of people in different phases of life and with different socio-demographic characteristics can be analysed. Above all, it is the most important survey for measuring unpaid work and also for analysing its distribution.
