Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.

This is a survey of the time use of the adult population of Great Britain in April, 1961. The original time diaries have been recoded in a way which enables comparisons to be drawn with the 1966 multi-national study.

Main Topics:

Variables Respondents kept diaries for a whole week (Sunday-Saturday), entering their main activity for each half-hour between 6.30 a.m. and midnight. Information was collected on respondent's age, sex, social grade, school-leaving age, occupation, family type and radio and TV ownership. The respondents' activities have been classified into over 100 activity codes, with additional allowance being made for the location of the activities (at home or away from home) and for viewing and listening secondary activities.

One-stage stratified or systematic random sample
