Abstract

Este artículo presenta la primera sistematización integral de las mediciones de uso del tiempo realizadas en Argentina, desde la primera en 1998 hasta la más reciente en 2024. Ofrece una guía práctica de consulta para gobiernos, academia, organizaciones de la sociedad civil y otros usuarios de estas estadísticas, al reunir en un único recurso información sobre cobertura, instrumentos de recolección, clasificadores y criterios metodológicos de cada encuesta, facilitando su interpretación, uso y comparabilidad. Pese a sus diferencias, todas muestran importantes brechas de género.
