Abstract
This document presents a description of the quality of match of the statistical matches used in the
LIMTCP estimates prepared for Ghana and Tanzania. For Ghana, the statistical match combines
the Living Standards Survey Round 6 (GLSS6) with the Ghana Time Use Survey (GTUS) 2009,
and for Tanzania it combines the Household Budget Survey (THBS) 2012 with the time-use data
obtained from the Integrated Labor Survey Module (ILFS) 2006. In both cases, the alignment of
the two datasets is examined, after which various aspects of the match quality are described.
Despite the differences in the survey years, the quality of match is high and the synthetic dataset
appropriate for the time poverty analysis.
