The Time Use in Other Activities measure includes 8 items from the Kyrgyzstan Living Standards Measurement Survey 1998. The items asked about the time allocated by respondents for unpaid work which included caring for children and elderly people, carrying out household work and looking for a job. The Kyrgyzstan Living Standards Measurement Survey aimed to assess household welfare, understand household behavior, and evaluate the effect of various government policies on the living conditions of the population. Navigational aspects (i.e. skip-out patterns and next question sequences) have not been included on this page but can be viewed on the original questionnaire located here.
