One of the most substantial policy changes in the past decade was
the elimination of the main social welfare program for poor
families, Aid to Families with Dependent Children, ending the
entitlement to cash benefits and replacing it with a policy
emphasizing work. A question relevant for understanding the
consequences of this policy change is how the time allocation among
work and family care activities of poor families has changed.
President Clinton's proposed budget for fiscal 2001 includes funds
for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to develop a survey to
measure how Americans spend their time (U.S. Department of Labor,
2000). BLS has already explored the feasibility of such a survey.
In 1997, a pilot study that collected time-use data for a sample of
Americans was conducted, and the results of that study were
presented at a 1997 conference sponsored by BLS and the MacArthur
Network on the Family and the Economy. Using knowledge gained from
the pilot study and the conference, BLS published a report on the
feasibility of a national time-use survey and developed a proposal
to conduct the survey. Time-Use Measurement and Research is a
summary of a workshop convened to consider data and methodological
issues in measuring time use. This report discusses why time-use
data are needed, highlighting many of policy and behavioral
applications of time-use data. It also summarizes conceptual issues
covered during the workshop, discusses a framework for how
individuals and households allocate their time, and comments on
some conceptual issues in measuring time use.
