Datasett: Czech Household Panel Survey 2. wave - time use (children)

Sammendrag

The CHPS time-use diary takes the form of a table with activity categories on the vertical axis and timeslots on the horizontal axis. Different versions of the diary were prepared for adult respondents and child respondents aged 10-17 years, with different numbers and contents of the activity categories prompted. The data was collected by means of a paper-and-pencil self-administered questionnaire, and a CAWI mutation of the instruments was prepared for the purposes of online interviewing.
The diary consists of 48 slots of 30 minutes. The first slot begins at 6 AM on the previous day, and the last slot ends at 6 AM on the present day. Thus, the diary was completed in retrospect, for the past day. The respondent drew a horizontal line to mark activities he/she had performed at the times specified. The entire length of the timeslot was to be marked even if the activity had started or ended at another time than the boundary moment (e.g., at 4:15 PM). Timeslots that the respondents only marked in part (e.g., by drawing a line from 4:15 to 4:30 PM) were entered in the same way as timeslots marked throughout.

The Czech Household Panel Survey (CHPS) is a sample survey which repeatedly interviewed, in the years 2015-2018, a random sample of households living in the territory of the Czech Republic. 5,159 households were interviewed in the first wave of data collection (Wave 1) that took place from July to December 2015. In the following three years, households interviewed in the previous year were invited to take part. 3,188 households participated in the final Wave 4 in 2018.
For public relations purposes, the survey is referred to as Proměny české společnosti (Transformations of the Czech Society, www.promenyceskespolecnosti.cz).
The goal of the survey is to map the living conditions of Czech households in the long-term perspective, describe the dynamics of change in the life of households and individuals, and to relate the process of social change to relations and happenings within households.
CHPS is an inter-disciplinary study that relies on sociological, economic and political science approaches. It consists of five main thematic areas:  Family life, time use, health; Education and the labour market; Social stratification; Housing; Political participation and civil society

The survey was co-organized by the Institute of Sociology, Czech Academy of Sciences, the CERGE-EI (a joint workplace of Charles University and the Economics Institute, Czech Academy of Sciences) and the Faculty of Social Studies, Masaryk University. Comprised of members of those institutions, the research team devised the survey's methodological plan and data collection instruments, selected fieldwork agencies through a public tendering procedure, collaborated with those agencies in implementing the survey's methodology, data checks and cleaning, processed the final datasets, and ensure that they were deposited in the Czech Social Science Data Archive.
The fieldwork was implemented by MEDIAN and STEM/MARK, two of the leading market research and opinion polling agencies in the Czech Republic. They are the founding members of SIMAR (Association of Market and Public Opinion Research Agencies) and members of ESOMAR (European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research). In addition to data collection, the agencies undertook the sampling process, collaborated in data checks and cleaning, and provided research methodology consultations.
The survey was funded by the Czech Science Foundation under grant GB14-36154G (Dynamics of Change in Czech Society).
