* WHAT IS THE AMERICAN TIME USE SURVEY?
The ATUS is the first government-sponsored survey that asks how people spend their time.
This is a first step in beginning to measure the quality of life in the United States as it compares to
other countries.Other surveys measure paid work in the US, but the ATUS also measures unpaid
work, such as housework, childcare, and volunteering.

encuesta auspiciada por el gobierno que le pregunta a la gente cómo emplea el tiempo. Es el primer paso para
empezar a medir la calidad de vida en los Estados Unidos en comparación con otros países. Otras encuestas
miden el trabajo por pago en EE.UU., pero ATUS mide también el trabajo que no se paga, como las tareas del
hogar, el cuidado de los niños y el trabajo voluntario.

>Question Text
* WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT COLLECTING THIS KIND OF INFORMATION?
ATUS data will allow the government to better understand the country’s economic well-being.
Other surveys already collect information on activities people are paid to do.
However, people do a lot of important things for themselves, their families, and their communities for which
they don’t get paid. ATUS allows us to collect information on how much time people spend doing unpaid
work, such as childcare, housework, and volunteer work.
Economists say that the lack of information on American’s unpaid work is the largest gap in
the federal statistical system.
Most other industrialized countries already collect time use data.
Collecting this information for the United States will help us stay competitive in a global economy. ATUS
data, such as how much people exercise, will also help us understand health trends in the U.S.

* ¿PARA QUÉ QUIERE EL GOBIERNO ESTE TIPO DE INFORMACIÓN?Los datos de ATUS le
permitirán al gobierno comprender mejor en qué consiste el bienestar económico de la nación. Otras encuestas
ya obtienen información sobre las actividades que a la gente le pagan por hacer. Pero la gente hace muchas cosas
importantes para sí mismos, sus familias y su comunidad, por las cuales nadie les paga. ATUS nos permite
obtener información sobre cuánto tiempo la gente pasa haciendo el trabajo que no se paga, como el cuidado de
los niños, las tareas del hogar, y el trabajo voluntario.Según los economistas, la falta de información sobre el
trabajo no pagado en EE.UU. es la mayor falla en el sistema de estadísticas federales. La mayor parte de los
demás países industrializados ya obtienen datos sobre le uso del tiempo. Obtener esta información para los
Estados Unidos nos permitirá mantener nuestra posición competitiva en una economía globalizada.Los datos de
ATUS, como por ejemplo cuánto ejercicio hace la gente, también ayudarán a entender las tendencias de salud en
los EE.UU.

* FINDING OUT WHAT I DID YESTERDAY IS A WASTE OF TAXPAYER'S MONEY
I understand why you might feel that way, but understanding how Americans spend their time
is a basic need for lawmakers. Lawmakers can use this data to determine how to best allocate your federal
dollars. Some ATUS data lawmakers are likely to look at include:
· Issues for the elderly, like getting to and from their doctor’s appointments or caring for
grandchildren
· Time people spend caring for other adults, such as aging parents.
· How to balance work and family. Many people feel that there aren’t enough hours
in the day to get everything done.
· How teenagers spend their time. This could help in the design of effective before
and after school sports or recreational programs.

* AVERIGUAR QUÉ HICE AYER ES UN DERROCHE DEL DINERO DEL GOBIERNO. Entiendo
porqué usted puede pensar así, pero los legisladores tienen una necesidad básica de comprender cómo pasan el
tiempo las personas en los Estados Unidos. Ellos pueden usar esa información para determinar cómo repartir
mejor los dólares del presupuesto federal.Los datos de ATUS que los legisladores probablemente mirarán
incluyen:· Asuntos importantes para las personas mayores, como el tiempo que les lleva ir y volver de citas con
el doctor o cuidar a sus nietos· Tiempo que la gente pasa cuidando a otros adultos, como por ejemplo a sus
padres de edad avanzada.· Cómo lograr el equilibrio entre el trabajo y la familia. Mucha gente siente que las
horas del día no les alcanzan para terminar de hacer todo. · Cómo pasan el tiempo los adolescentes. Esto podría
ayudar a diseñar programas efectivos de cuidado de niños antes y después del horario escolar.

* WHO WILL USE THE INFORMATION COLLECTED IN THIS SURVEY?
Businesses will use this information to determine how many people want their products and services. This type
of data may also assist them in finding out if they should develop new and/or improved products.
City planners and policy makers can use it to better understand the needs of people in the United States.For
example, cities can use these data to figure out emergency preparedness plans or to
make decisions concerning the need for more housing, parks or recreational areas.
Economists can use it to calculate the value of unpaid work.
Sociologists and time-use researchers can use it to look at trends in quality of life, as well as how
we balance work and family activities.
Lawmakers can use the data from specialized populations, such as the elderly, teens, or the
working poor, to develop laws or programs to address their special needs.

pobreza, para programas diseñados para sus necesidades especiales.

* WHY DO YOU NEED TO SPEAK TO ____, WHY CAN'T I DO THE SURVEY?
This survey will show how men’s use of time is different from women’s
and how young people’s use of time may be different from middle- aged or older adults’.
For example, we will be able to determine how much time women and men contribute to activities such as
housework, cooking and childcare. We will be able to look at how working parents balance the demands of work
and family.
To make sure that all different types of people are equally represented in this survey, we’ve pre-selected one
respondent from each household. It’s important that we speak to that person.

*¿POR QUÉ NECESITA HABLAR CON ____? ¿POR QUÉ NO PUEDO HACER YO LA ENCUESTA?
Esta encuesta mostrará las diferencias en cómo emplean el tiempo los hombres y las mujeres, y cómo los
jóvenes tal vez empleen el tiempo de manera distinta que los adultos o las personas de edad avanzada.
Por ejemplo, podremos determinar cuánto tiempo dedican los hombres y las mujeres a actividades tales como
hacer tareas domésticas, cocinar y cuidar a los niños. Podremos examinar cómo los padres que trabajan tratan de
equilibrar las demandas del trabajo y la familia.
Para asegurarnos que todo tipo de gente esté representada por igual en esta encuesta, hemos pre-seleccionado un
participante por hogar. Es importante que hablemos con esa persona.

* WHY DO YOU NEED TO TALK TO MY CHILD?
We’re interested in how people divide their time. For young people, we’d like to know how they balance things
like school, sports, jobs and socializing.
Understanding how young people’s activities change over time can tell
us a lot about how American culture and education may be changing and what services parents and teens may
need to improve their quality of life.
Many businesses and government agencies provide products and services to meet the needs of young children
and teenagers. By allowing your child to participate in this survey, both you and your child can have say in the
types of goods and services that are of important to you.

*¿POR QUÉ NECESITA HABLAR CON MI HIJO(A)?
Estamos interesados en cómo reparte la gente el tiempo. Para la gente joven, quisiéramos saber cómo hacen para
repartir el tiempo entre cosas como la escuela, los deportes, trabajos y vida social.
Si entendemos como cambian las actividades de los jóvenes a través del tiempo, eso nos permitirá entender
mejor de qué manera pueden estar cambiando la cultura y la educación en los EE.UU., y qué servicios pueden
necesitar los padres y los adolescentes para mejorar su calidad de vida.
Muchas empresas y agencias del gobierno proporcionan productos y servicios para llenar las necesidades de los
niños pequeños y los adolescentes. Al permitir que su hijo(a) participe en esta encuesta, tanto usted como su
hijo(a) pueden dar sus opiniones sobre los tipos de bienes y servicios que son importantes para ustedes.

* WHY DO YOU WANT TO TALK TO ME?
Every activity is important. Your answers represent thousands of other people who are similar to you.
We need data from people who work and people who don’t work. We need data from young people,
middle-aged people and older people. We’re trying to represent how people in the United States spend their
time. It’s critical that each person who was selected for this survey participates. Otherwise, we run the risk of
not accurately reflecting the true diversity of the American people.

We know that people do different things on different days.
We want to make sure that all the days of the week are equally represented so that we don’t

We are not allowed to make any changes to the day of the week that has been assigned to you.

* CAN'T YOU JUST MAIL ME A QUESTIONNAIRE?
We designed this survey to be conducted over the phone because research shows
that people frequently forget mundane, every day activities and those activities are just
as important as unusual activities that are easier to remember. An important part of the
survey is having it conducted by trained interviewers who help you remember all your
activities from yesterday.

* WHY ME? ALL I DO IS WORK.
We’ve been hearing, and global comparisons back this up, that people in the United States are working longer
hours, taking work home, and working on weekends. This survey will measure the extent of this trend in the
US, and help us better measure the productivity of the American worker.
Gridlock continues to plague major metropolitan areas. By learning about how Americans
get to work, we can use this data to contribute to the research on commuting patterns and telecommuting.
As major corporations, the federal government, and other employers allow more of
their employees to work non-traditional schedules, such as telecommuting or flexible
work hours, it becomes important to examine how these changes affect people’s quality of life.

tan extendida está esta tendencia en los EE.UU., y nos ayudará a medir mejor la productividad de los
trabajadores en los Estados Unidos.Los embotellamientos de tráfico siguen siendo una plaga en las principales
áreas metropolitanas. Si nos informamos sobre cómo llegan al trabajo los estadounidenses, podremos usar esos
datos para contribuir a los estudios sobre transporte para ir y volver del trabajo y sobre trabajo a distancia.A
medida que las corporaciones importantes, el gobierno federal y otros empleadores les permiten a más de sus
empleados trabajar en horarios no tradicionales, como trabajar desde el hogar o trabajar en horarios flexibles, se
vuelve importante examinar de qué manera esos cambios afectan la calidad de vida de la gente.

An important measure of quality of life is how much free time you get to spend with others,

how much time parents spend with young children versus teenagers, and how much time working spouses
spend with one another and friends.

* SUMMARY QUESTIONS ABOUT WORK
You have a job if you have an arrangement for work on an ongoing basis-either through an employer or your
own business for pay or compensation.
Activities that are done "as part of your job" include any times you reported as working in the time diary, but
also any job-related activities: such as grading papers at home—done outside your usual workplace.
OTHER income-generating activities are activities done for pay or profit on an occasional, informal basis—such
as income generated from a yard sale—that are not part of your ongoing job.

Usted tiene trabajo si tiene un arreglo de trabajar regularmente – tanto para un empleador como para su propio
negocio o empresa – ya sea por pago o para recibir ganancias.

diario de tiempo que estaba trabajando, pero también cualquier actividad relacionada con su trabajo – como por
ejemplo corregir tareas de sus estudiantes en su casa – que usted hace fuera de su lugar habitual de trabajo.
OTRAS actividades que generan ingresos son actividades que se hacen por pago o para obtener ganancias de
manera ocasional e informal, tal como el ingreso generado en una venta de cosas usadas, como un yard sale. y
que no son parte de su trabajo regular.

* SUMMARY QUESTIONS ABOUT VOLUNTEERING
We’d like to know which of your previous day’s activities were volunteer activities, because
we want to be sure to measure this important unpaid contribution to the economy and to society.
In this survey, you have volunteered if you have done something for the benefit of a cause or of people. This
must have been done for or through an organization and you must not have been paid. (Some volunteers are
reimbursed for expenses, such as mileage or meals, incurred during the volunteering activity.)
Volunteering must have been done of your own free will.
For example, doing court-ordered community service would not be counted as volunteering.
Please do not include as volunteering any informal helping activities done for household or
non-household members. (We count those activities as care and helping, rather than volunteering.)

organización o a través de una organización, y usted no puede haber recibido ningún pago. (A algunos
voluntarios se les reembolsan los gastos, como por ejemplo gastos que tuvieron por uso de su vehículo -- por
milla -- o en comidas mientras hacían su actividad voluntaria.)La actividad voluntaria tiene que haberse hecho
por propia voluntad. Por ejemplo, si uno presta servicios a la comunidad por orden de la corte, eso no se cuenta
como actividad voluntaria.Por favor no incluya como actividades voluntarias a ninguna actividad informal de
ayuda a personas que viven en su hogar o fuera de él. (Contaremos esas actividades en la categoría de “atención
