Objective
To test innovative collection methods using mobile tools such as smartphones, particularly for gathering data on consumer spending (specifically as part of the Family budget survey) and data describing time use, as in the Time-Use survey. INSEE decided to test a mobile and internet application for time-use (which should enable users to fill in a time-use logbook via smartphone or internet) and to contribute more broadly to the creation of a European platform for the collection of standardised data via these mobile tools. The test is staggered between February and April 2020, following which conclusions and recommendations will be sent to the European consortium.
Distribution of work
The planned activities are grouped in 3 work packages linked to specific objectives, deadlines and results. INSEE participates in 2 work packages: WP2 and WP3:
- Work package 1: Coordination and Communication;
- Work package 2: Development and execution of pilot projects;
- Work package 3: Development of a conceptual framework, reference architecture and technical specifications for a European platform for trusted smart surveys.
