United Nations Expert Group Muting on the Revision of the United Nations Trial International Clasification of activities for the Fine Use Statistics (ICATUS) 11-13 june 2012. New York

The objective of this presentation is to do a briefly review of the evolution of the classifiers of Time Use in Mexico, with emphasis on the efforts to achieve a standarization at international level, particularly with regard to productive activities within the boundary of work.

The information appearing in this presentation was taken from the working papers: “Clasificación Mexicana de Actividades de Uso del Tiempo CMAUT. Documento Metodológico”. Norma Saavedra Salinas. “Directrices y referentes conceptuales para armonizar las encuestas sobre uso del tiempo en América Latina y el Caribe”. Ma. Eugenia Gómez Luna.

Mexico carried out Time Use Surveys in 1996, 1998 and 2002, integrated to the National Survey of Income and Expenditure of the Household, which have allowed to obtain time-use information related to sociodemographic and occupation characteristics of household members, income, household expenses, and the characteristics of the housing they occupy.

In 2009 it was carried out independently the National Survey of Time Use ENUT.

SURVEY OBJECTIVE INSTRUMENT CLASSIFIER

National Survey on Working, Contributions and Time Use. 1996

Collect information on labor, time use of household members.

Questionnaire with lists of activities. Did not cover 24 hours a day.

List constructed for the survey.

National Survey on Time Use. 1998

Obtain information to know how to use the time household members aged 8 and over.

DairyThe day before the interview.

List constructed for the survey. First effort of adaptation to the ICATUS.

National Survey on Time Use. 2002

Generate information about on time spent in the week before the interview, to the activities of household members 12 years and over.

QuestionnaireThe week before the interview.

List constructed for the survey. Second effort of adaptation to the ICATUS.

National Survey on Time Use. ENUT 2009

Generate statistics information on time use patterns of the mexican population, in order to assist the generation and evaluation of public policies.

QuestionnaireThe week before the interview.

Mexican Classification of Time Use (CMAUT). Following the guiding principles ICATUS.

What is important to note is that the first classifier as such used in the Mexican surveys was the CMAUT.

Born with the objective of having a classification that applies to ENUT 2009 and subsequent TU surveys.

It taked as a starting point the ICATUS.

Considered the importance of adapting ICATUS to national circunstances.

Governing criterion of the adaptation of CMAUT to ICATUS

Respects the structure and organization of the ICATUS, who can distinguish between the productive and non productive activities, and within the first, the ones who are part of the SNA and the ones that are not within of this system, but yes in the general border of production.

Productive Activities within the SNA Differences ICATUS - CMAUT

Unlike ICATUS 2005 which considered five main divisions, in the CMAUT for the work within the boundary of the NAS, it was determined one main division and a division for labor in structured sector and the household sector, at group level are presented the activities that correspond to the formal sector and the ones that corresponds to the households, depending on the characteristics of goods and services produced.

Mexico has a National Survey of Occupation and Employment (ENOE) which is part of an Integrated System of Household Surveys whose philosophy is to ensure complementarity of the measurements made for each survey and avoid repeating the measurement of the same subject.

The ENOE makes particular emphasis on the difference between work that is for the formal sector, and the one which takes place in the households.

In countries like Mexico where informal economic units have an important weight, it doesn't be excluded that the job search also takes place in the household sector.

Is very difficult for those seeking work, look for work in a business with a specific activity, or that the person may classify the activity business where he is looking for work.

In parallel way with the preparation of ENUT 2009 conceptual framework, based on CMAUT, in the frame of the Conference of the American States (CEA), Mexico participates in the work to achieve a standarized classifier of time use for América Latina and the Caribe, the CAUTAL.

The guiding principle of the CAUTAL, is to consider the general boundary of production of the National Account System.

ICATUS 2012 CAUTAL

The gap between these classifiers at this point is greatly reduced with the proposed adjustments in the ICATUS 2012.
