This secondary analysis dataset contains variables produced for use in conjunction with the United Kingdom Time Use Survey, 2000 (TUS) (held at the UK Data Archive (UKDA) under SN 4504). Users should refer to the TUS documentation for details on the original data collection, structure and content of that survey, including weighting and validation of results. The variables in this dataset are designed to enhance the usefulness of the TUS for research on earnings, income inequality, and poverty. In particular, the TUS itself contains information on gross, but not net, household incomes. Therefore, this dataset used information provided in TUS combined with that from the Family Resources Survey, 2000-2001 (held at the UKDA under SN 4498) and the Households Below Average Income (HBAI) dataset (not currently held at the UKDA) for the same year, to impute individual net earnings and household net incomes for households containing at least one person of working age (16-59 years for women, 16-64 for men). Furthermore, the TUS provides detailed information on use of childcare but not on childcare expenditure. Therefore, this dataset used information from the Department for Education and Skills' (DfES) Parents' Demand for Childcare surveys (held under GN 33341) to derive estimates of childcare expenditure. Household net incomes could then be calculated either with childcare expenditure included or not. This dataset was prepared as part of a project titled Time and Income Poverty: a Double Bind?, which was funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.
Main Topics:
The variables in the dataset are at individual level, although some relate to household characteristics. They comprise three linking variables, to enable users to match the income and childcare expenditure variables provided in this dataset to the main TUS; nine variables in relation to net income; and five variables in relation to childcare.
A subsample of the TUS was used, namely, all individuals in households containing at least one pers
