Data Collection Notes
The survey data collection was conducted quarterly and was conducted in the third week of March, June, September and December 2019. The survey data collection was led by the heads of the Statistics Departments of the selected aimags, and the household-based survey interviewers collected the data.
One of the goals of the TUS is to look at the differences in the work done by the population on different days of the week, so we had a time use diary kept by selected survey participants for a full week on a quarterly basis. The diary was kept by members of the selected households aged 12 and over. When having the diary kept, we divided the days of the week into three groups (1. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday; 2. Wednesday, Thursday; and 3. Friday, and Saturday) with equal numbers of households in each group.
The TUS used a mixed method of data collection. For example, a computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) was used to collect household information, and a combination of paper questionnaires and smartphone applications was used to keep diaries. When the diary was kept on a paper form, the interviewers coded the activities and typed the information on their tablets. However, in the case of keeping a diary using a smartphone application, it was transmitted to the NSO server by the individual interviewees. CSPro 7.0 (census and survey processing system) software was used for survey data collection. The development of the smartphone application used react native software for Android and iOS operating systems.
