Classification of Time-Use Activities for Latin America and the Caribbean (CAUTAL)

The Classification of Time-Use Activities for Latin America and the Caribbean (CAUTAL) is a dynamic, flexible instrument designed to respond to the classification requirements and socioeconomic characteristics of each country. This classifier, along with the recommendations for its use, is meant as a regional tool that can be used to harmonize time-use statistics and obtain information that will provide a better understanding of the work done by men and women and thence contribute to the design of public policies to promote and extend women's economic autonomy.
