General Social Survey, Cycle 29, 2015 [Canada]: Time Use, Episode File

The data collected provides information to all level of governments when making funding decisions, developing priorities and identifying areas of concern for legislation, new policies and programs. Researchers and other users use this information to inform the general Canadian population about the changing nature of time use in Canada such as: o Are we working too many hours and spending too much time commuting? o Do we have flexible work schedules? o Do we have enough time to play sports, participate in leisure activities or volunteer? o Are we spending enough quality time with our children, our families and our friends? o How has the internet and social media affected the way we spend our time? o Are we satisfied with our lives?
