A time allocation study systematically measures the amount of time individuals spend on specific tasks and activities. These studies examine how people budget their time in various social and cultural contexts. For example, they explore how the division of labor in productive and reproductive activities is organized across genders and generations: How much time per day do mothers, fathers, older siblings, grandparents, and others spend caring for young children? How much time is allocated by whom to economic activities, caregiving tasks, or neighborhood interactions? Various methods are used to measure time budgeting, generating quantitative and replicable datasets.
