The main goal of the ENUT is to determine the differences between men and women regarding the distribution of the use of time in tasks or activities of daily life, necessary for personal, family and social development.

These data will be essential for the formulation of public policies that promote gender equality, social welfare, and the improve of quality of life in general. Likewise, it will make visible “women’s contribution to the family well-being and to the development of the society”.

The collaboration of the persons interviewed is important to guarantee that the results reflect in precise and representative manner the reality of all the population.
