WIESBADEN – Under the motto “Wo bleibt die Zeit?” (Where has time gone?), the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), in cooperation with the statistical offices of the Länder, conducts the time use survey (TUS) from January to December 2022. Many households have already registered for participation in the survey and have noted their activities performed on three days in a diary. Further households, in particular families, are still to be recruited for the next few months. They will receive a financial reward of at least 35 euros as a thank you. Among other things, the TUS provides important findings on care work, that is, unpaid work such as child care, housework, voluntary work or care of family members.
