New Zealand Time Use Survey User's Guide (300 KB)

The activity classification categorizes the range of different types of activities people do. It was developed to identify separately the activities of particular interest to the objectives of the time-use survey, and to maintain consistency with international classifications used in surveys overseas. The New Zealand activity classification has three levels, with the second level being the most detailed used in output tables. The various levels are:

• 11 activity groups at the 2-digit level
• 67 activities at the 3-digit level
• 88 detailed activities at the 4-digit level.
