National Time Transfer Accounts for Colombia

Patricia Angela Casas Valencia and Ana Maria Mondragon Moreno

Unpaid domestic and care work predominantly falls on women. in Colombia, according to the National Time Use Survey, women of all ages engage in such work at significantly higher rates than men. in this context, measuring women's contribution to society is essential. to address this, the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE) in Colombia has developed the National Time Transfer Accounts (NTTA). These accounts complement the National Transfer Accounts by expanding their focus to gender economics, including the measurement of economic activities related to unpaid household and care work. These accounts provide valuable insights into how individuals produce and consume time across the life cycle, categorized by age and gender. the construction of the NTTA in Colombia primarily relies on data from the National Time Use Survey (NTUS).
