Study title

Data were collected in order to gain insight in the way the Dutch population is spending its time. The data were collected by means of two interviews (a baseline questionnaire and a concluding questionnaire) and a time-budget diary completed by the same respondents. Previous time-budget surveys were held in 1995, 1990, 1985, 1980, and 1975, and a number of variables were recoded to make the surveys better accessible for comparative research. The TBO survey is a project by the SCP, Cebuco, the Publieke Omroep (NOS/Teleac/NOT), Universiteit van Tilburg and the Adviesdienst Verkeer en Vervoer.
