Time use methodology can provide a window on actual lifestyles, thereby permitting a rich, objective, and replicable basis on which to make empirical judgements. By providing contextual information about what people do, the methodology can generate invaluable information for understanding human behavior problems and be used to guide planning and policy development. This chapter introductes the concept of time use studies and presents a brief overview of their historical development and application.
