The Purpose and Objective

The need for TUS

Integration of TUS in Statistics

4-7 Dec, 2012 2Integrating Gender Perspective in Statistics, Kampala

There has been a mounting need at the national, regional and global level for systematic mainstreaming of a gender perspective within national statistical systems and in the production of statistics.

Tuesday, November 20,2012ASD SEMINAR ON GENDER STATISTICS 3

According to the strategic objective H.3 of PoA clearly states that “Generate and disseminate gender-disaggregated data and information for planning and evaluation”


Some of the actions to be taken under this strategic objective by the National Statistics offices includes:

A.Ensure that statistics related to individuals are collected, compiled, analysed and presented by sex and age, and reflect problems, issues and questions related to women and men in society;


B. Collect, compile, analyse and present on a regular basis data disaggregated by age, sex, socio-economic and other relevant indicators, including number of dependents, for utilization in policy and programme planning and implementation and to reflect problems and questions related to men and women in society.


Ghana has ratified and adopted a number of international, regional and sub-regional conventions, treaties and policies on women’s empowerment and gender equality:

Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW)

the " Beijing Platform for Action" (PoA) of the Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995 in Beijing

the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of 2005, which has gender dimensions

Others


This imposes on the Service the task to develop

gender statistics in the country, to track the

progress Ghana is making on the attainment of

GE and WE;

Play an important role in increasing awareness on

the production and use of GS;

Develop systems on gender statistics to monitor

changes in the situation of women as against that

of men.


With the developments at the international level, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), on its 40th anniversary in 1998, convened a regional conference on the theme “African Women and Economic Development: Investing in Our Future”.

And also how to eliminate gender discrimination.


Since it was well recognised that the process of measuring unremunerated work is not an easy task.

Therefore, one of the key actions proposed by the conference was “to include a gender perspective in national accounting systems and other data for example, by conducting time use surveys which produce information on time use across formal, informal and unpaid reproductive sectors for women, men and girls and boys in different contexts, particularly in areas of high poverty prevalence”.


The main objective of the GTUS was to measure and analyze the time spent in a 24-hour period by individuals aged 10 years and older – women, men, girls, and boys - on all activities including paid and unpaid work and Non-productive activities (leisure activities).


The GTUS is to allow for the development of a satellite account of household production as well as a gender-aware macroeconomic model for Ghana.

Address gender issues in macroeconomic and poverty reduction policies and strategies in Ghana.

Build the capacity of the country in conducting time use surveys.

Provide users with data on time use and how Ghanaians allocate time to different activities

Capture the full participation of men and women in the economic and development process.

Improve concepts, methodology and measurement of all types of work and work-related activities.

Mainstream gender into development policy and programmes.

Individual Diary Questionnaire was administered to hh members of 10 years and older.

The person interviewed must be the person concerned - no one can answer questions on behalf of another person.

the code number given to the household and the ID number given to all eligible members could be obtained from the household questionnaire. This information was required to link the individual questionnaire to the household questionnaire.

International Classification of Activities for Time Use Statistics (ICATUS) developed by the United Nations Statistics Division “Guide to producing statistics on time use: Measuring paid and unpaid work)” 2005.

ICATUS defines 15 main groups of activities, which include: SNA productive, non-SNA productive and non-productive activities

Coding of activities was done by the supervisors.

PART 3

HOW GHANAIAN WOMEN AND MEN USE THEIR TIME


Three main indicators were used to determine the Time Patterns between women and men:

the average time spent in the various activities,

the participation rate of the population in these activities

and

the time spent by the persons involved in the activities.

(the time spent on a specified activity by those who

actually did engage) in that activity.


A standard set of disaggregation was used to explore patterns in time

use among different groups:

geographical area of settlement (rural/urban)

age group

marital status

employment status

educational achievement

household composition, and

Days of the week

All these variables were further disaggregated by sex, given the

importance of gender in shaping time use.


Average Time Spent on Broad activities aged 10 years and older


Participation Rate of the population, 10 year and older


Time Spent on Broad Category, 10 yrs and older


SNA Activities


Average Time Spent on SNA Work: 10 years and older


Participation Rate for SNA work: 10 years and older


Daily Time Spent by Actors involve in SNA Work


Participation Rate for Fetching Water: 10 years and older


Participation Rate for Collecting fuel: 10 years and older


NON-SNA PRODUCTION – UNPAID WORK


Average Time Spent on Unpaid Work: 10 year and older


Participation Rate for Extended SNA (Unpaid Work): 10 years and older


Daily time spent by persons involved on various extended SNA activities


NON- PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES:•Learning•Leisure & Personal Care


Time in minutes spent by actors involved in learning activities (4 digits), population aged 10-24, by sex and

area of residence


Average time spent on leisure and personal care activities by sex by population aged 10 years and older


Participation rates on leisure and personal care by sex by population aged 10 years and older

Gender Aware Macroeconomic CGE model for policies that affects women and men


Based on PoA 206 (b) Collect, compile, analyse and present on a regular basis data disaggregated by age, sex, socio-economic and other relevant indicators, including number of dependents, for utilization in policy and programme planning and implementation and to reflect problems and questions related to men and women in society.

Looking at an alternative approach for compiling Gender Statistics – the Use of Administrative data sources which are routinely generated to the Census and Surveys approach
