Similar to the survey of 1969 (Mikrozensus MZ6901) this Mikrozensus special survey provides information on the connection of occupation, housekeeping and childcare. It shows how the developments of the last years (increasing employment of women outside the household, declining birthrates, etc.) have led to changes in the aforementioned fields. Moreover, it should be evaluated if and how much women partake in the general increase in spare time and how/if they use the spare time for their needs.
