This paper presents the TIMES (Time-use Observatory of Young Families) survey, a new dataset designed to study gender inequalities in intra-household time allocation. The survey targets cohabiting couples with children under age 11 in the Emilia-Romagna and Campania regions of Italy and collects harmonized data from both partners within each household. The core innovation of the survey is the combination of web-based time use diaries with a detailed socio-economic questionnaire. Each respondent completes two 24-hour diaries (one weekday and one weekend day) via an online interface, yielding high-frequency data on paid work, domestic labor, and childcare. These time diaries are linked to individual-level information on employment, household composition, and attitudes toward gender roles and family responsibilities. By surveying both members of the couple independently, the dataset enables direct analysis of intra-household specialization, total work burdens, and discrepancies in time use and reported responsibilities. This structure supports empirical testing of household decision-making models and allows investigation of the interaction between social norms and observed behaviors. TIMES provides a novel resource for empirical research in labor, gender, and family economics. The integration of behavioral time use data with attitudinal and structural indicators creates new opportunities to analyze the mechanisms behind persistent gender gaps in unpaid work and the influence of contextual factors on intra-household outcomes.
