The International Classification of Activities for Time-Use Statistics (ICATUS 2016) is a standardized framework that organizes all activities a person may perform over 24 hours. Developed based on internationally agreed concepts and definitions, it enables the production and dissemination of consistent, comparable time-use statistics across countries and over time, and supports their integration with other social and economic statistics, regardless of the data collection method used. ICATUS can also be adapted to national contexts to guide time-use data collection and analysis. The classification was endorsed by the United Nations Statistical Commission at its 48th session for use as an international statistical standard.
