Repository on Time Use in Latin America and the Caribbean, 2025

The Repository on Time Use in Latin America and the Caribbean, created in 2007 and administered by the Gender Equality Observatory (GEO) of ECLAC, houses databases, indicators, and metadata provided by national statistical offices from countries with official time-use measurements. To promote comparability, the activities contained in these databases are harmonized at the two-digit level based on the Classification of Time-Use Activities for Latin America and the Caribbean (CAUTAL). This has enabled the GEO to calculate and monitor SDG indicator 5.4.1, along with other regionally agreed time-use indicators, all of which are available on the GEO website and in CEPALSTAT, with relevant population disaggregations. This brochure summarizes the current status of time-use measurements and indicators in the region, based on the Repository updated to 2025.
