Abstract

We compare the data obtained through time diaries and survey questions on time use. Based on German data, we assess the exchangeability of time diary and survey estimates for several statistics. We find that both measures yield rather consistent findings. We interpret this rather good congruence of our time budgets as a result of our decomposed survey questions.
