Abstract

Supported by the women’s movement and in the spirit of the Beijing Platform for Action, the Buenos Aires legislature passed a law at the end of 2003 (Ley N° 1168, 4 December 2003) that mandated the Directorate-General of Statistics and Census of the city government (Direction General de Estadística y Censos, DGEyC) to collect information on the distribution of time use by women and men living in the city of Buenos Aires on a systematic and periodic basis (Consejo Nacional de la Mujer, 2006). The primary purpose of such a survey would be to quantify unpaid care work performed mostly by women in the household. According to the same law, the findings of this survey are to be used to promote policies focused on enhancing the living conditions of women, and on the equitable integration of women and men into society.
