TRAINING WORKSHOP ON 
UNDERSTANDING THE ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTIONS OF WOMEN AND MEN: TIME-USE DATA
COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS FOR POLICYMAKING

BEIJING, CHINA
29 JUNE-1 JULY 2011

This training workshop*, organised by the International Association for Time
Use Research (IATUR)** and the International Association for Feminist
Economics(IAFFE)***, has two objectives:

1) provide training to build capacity to use of time-use data to inform
policy;

2) facilitate networking and joint collaborations among time-use
researchers, feminist economists, statisticians and government agencies.  

The workshop will offer hands-on training on the special properties of
time-use data, management of time use data set, and techniques for the
analysis and reporting of time-use information in a policy-relevant,
gender-aware manner. The workshop will be led by experts from the
International Association for Time Use Research (IATUR). 

We aim for this workshop to be the first of many. Places at this workshop
are limited to 21 participants. The workshop is intended for academics,
researchers, and government civil servants, particularly in statistical
agencies from developing and transition economies. Funding will be provided
for the participants from developing and transition economies. Preference
will be given to applicants from regions that have conducted large-scale
time use surveys, have experience in the use of statistical software
packages (e.g. SPSS, SAS, STATA, R) and are associated with a government
statistical agency or a university/research institution. The program will be
conducted in English. Selection criteria will include the objective of
achieving gender balance and regional balance among the participants. 

This workshop will follow the annual IAFFE conference in Beijing from 24-26
June 2010. Workshop participants may wish to attend this conference as well
as the workshop, but participation in both events is not essential.
