| contents | Sixteen Years after Beijing: What Are the New Policy Agendas for Time-Use Data Collection? Valeria Esquivel This study takes stock of how advocacy for time-use surveys (TUS) has been framed since the 1995 Beijing Platform for Action, which urged countries to regularly conduct TUS in order to quantify unpaid care work, and how conducive the call for action has been for the effective use of this data to inform gender-sensitive policy. Findings suggest that obstacles to progress in using time-use data to inform policy include: an overemphasis on accounting for women's unpaid work within the framework of the United Nations System ofNational Accounts; a neglect of a clear distributive justice agenda tied to measuring and valuing unpaid work; and inadequate design of some TUS. However, there are now signs of emerging new analytical frameworks and agendas that link time-use data collection more directly to policy. These agendas are likely to be more fruitful in promoting the use of time-use data in policymaking. 10.1080/13545701.2011.616947 DOI https://doi.org/10.1080/13545701.2011.616947 publication.journalArticle |
