Abstract:
|
The American Time Use Survey measures the amount of time spent on many different types of activities. Other studies have examined the impact of nonresponse on the estimates of time spent in those activities. This study examines the potential bias in the estimates of the inter-relationships between categories. Do those who don't respond differ in the trade-offs they make in their time? The effect on the trade-offs due to hours worked and hours spent in child care are of particular interest.
