Time, though universal, is distributed unevenly. Time-use surveys show how people allocate hours among paid work, care, learning, leisure, and self-care, revealing gaps in productivity and opportunity. The report It Is About Time: Measurements, Challenges, and Policies for Asia reviews key challenges in survey design and presents the first harmonized analysis of microdata from eight countries.
