Written by:

Objective

This paper pools the American Time Use Survey (ATUS-X) and the Current Population Survey (CPS) Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC) from 2003 to 2011 to estimate time poverty rates for parents within the United States. We estimate poverty rates by income, time, and a combination of both for diverse household configurations.
