The survey collected background information then a one 24-hour day diary of activities on the previous day over the telephone. In addition, the survey posed additonal questions on the perception of time, time spent on child care and other unpaid work, the diarists' general well-being, paid work and education, cultural and sports activities, social networks, and trust. The diary starts at 04:00, and the interviewers solicited starting and stopping times, main activity, location, mode of transport, and who else was present. The CATI instrument includes a detailed precoded activity list, and the transport categories are distinguished by the purpose of the trip. If the diarist was asleep at 04:00, the interviewer asked what time the person went to sleep. When diarists looked after a child aged 14 or younger, the diary additionally collected details of main activities associated with child care. Data are listed as not stated in most cases if the respondent did not answer, but sex and number of telephones was imputed if not provided. |
