The Living Standards Survey-Nigeria: Domestic work/Time use measure uses 4 items from the third wave of the Nigeria General Household Survey, which is a nationally representative, multi-dimensional survey conducted across Nigeria in two visits: post-planting and post-harvest seasons. The measure captures aspects around time spent collecting water and firewood. 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.
