OVERVIEW
The 2006 survey was designed to be as comparable as possible with the 1997 survey. However, the 2006 Time Use Survey did introduce some changes. The changes were largely designed to improve survey quality but may impact on the comparability between the 2006 estimates and earlier data. Notwithstanding these changes, a high level of comparability with 1997 survey results has been achieved. This chapter outlines the main changes.
