Info

The most interesting results, from a methods development point of view, are obtained by using both approaches and comparing results. Particularly, it is interesting to compare hourly incomes received by labour in each of the methods. The procedure has been tried out on a few occasions. It seems that for the preparation of meals and snacks, use of input approach results in higher value added compared to output approach whereas the opposite is true for the production of care and clothing (Holloway 2002, Varjonen & Aalto 2005). In the present Satellite Account we have opted to use the input approach. This decision was made because figures on time use were available, and also because earlier studies in 1979 and 1990 used the same method (Säntti et al. 1982, Vihavainen 1995). The input method has also been used in Germany and Hungary, where satellite accounts for 2001 have already been completed (Schäfer 2004 and Sik & Szép 2003).

4 Household satellite account 2001 4.1 Data sources Time use data Data on time use are a key source in determining the value of labour. This Household Satellite Account relies on time use data collected by Statistics Finland in 1999–2000. This material was collected in a sample of households by interviewing all household members aged 10 or over and by giving them time use diaries to fill out. Household members kept a detailed record of their time use on the same two, randomly selected days, one of which was a weekday and the other either a Saturday or Sunday. The respondents recorded in their own words how they had spent their time during those days to an accuracy of 10 minutes. Most of the structural and background data on households and their members were collected in computer-aided interviews at the households concerned. Data on income were obtained from administrative registers. For the Satellite Account a dataset on time use was compiled at the household level. This dataset included all households for which data were obtained on the time use of all household members aged 10 or over for at least one same day. The time use figures for different household members on that same day were summed up. The dataset comprises 4,420 household days from 2,240 different households (see Table 2). This dataset and the methods employed have been described in more detail in Time Use in Families (Pääkkönen 2005; in Finnish). Households were grouped into ten different types and into income quintiles on the basis of their income subject to state tax. Household time use was divided into 29 categories, which were further grouped into the six principal functions of household production. Chapter 4.2 provides a more detailed description of how this dataset was used in the Satellite Account. The time use classification and average time use in different household types are presented in Appendix 1. Household Budget Survey data The micro data collected for Statistics Finland’s Household Budget Survey were used in compiling the Household Satellite Account for different household types. Particularly, these data were used in the allocation of intermediate consumption and household capital to different types of households and to the principal functions of household production. The Household Budget Survey is a sample-based survey that is conducted at regular intervals with a view to measuring household consumption expenditure and exploring changes in the structure of that expenditure. In addition to household consumption expenditure, it covers data on income, housing conditions, indebtedness and ownership of consumer durables. Data are also compiled on place of residence and household structure as well as on the socio-demographic characteristics of household members.
