Abstract
In 2022, the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) focused on family, work and gender roles. Questions covered issues such as family leave, domestic work and perceptions of gender differences in both employment and childcare. This data consists of a survey of Finns.
Respondents were first asked to rate statements on work-life balance and the roles of women and men in the family and in working life. They were also asked how children affect the freedom, finances, employment, career opportunities and social status of parents.
Next, respondents' views on family leave were examined. Questions included how leave should be shared between parents and how long paid family leave should be. They also asked about who should cover the costs of family leave, childcare and services for the elderly.
In terms of time use, the survey asked how many hours per week the respondent and his/her spouse spend on housework and looking after family members. The survey also asked who takes care of the family finances and who in the family takes care of everyday chores such as planning activities or cooking. Respondents were also asked to reflect on the importance of family ties and friendship in life, as well as on the division of child-rearing responsibilities between the genders.
Background variables included, among others, respondent's gender, year of birth, marital status, level of education, occupation, voting behaviour, gross income, current employment status, household size and metropolitan area. In addition, background variables include the education, occupation and labour market status of the respondent's spouse.

Before sampling, the respondents were sorted by municipality code and date of birth. Respondents were contacted a maximum of five times during the survey, by letter invitations, e-mail and paper forms. The total loss was 1850, of which 22 were drop-outs and seven were refusals.

Completeness of Data and Restrictions
For identification purposes, the regional variable (nuts2), number of children (k8_lkm), country of birth of parents (k66a and k66b) and respondent's gross income (k63) have been classified at FSD.
Two questionnaires are attached. One is a paper form sent by post, the other an internet form. The question sections of the questionnaires are identical in content.
Weighting
The data contain two weight variables, which were created using a calibration method in order to improve estimation efficiency and to correct non-response bias. The weights are based on the following population distributions: 1) gender, 2) age groups (15-24, 25-34, ..., 65-74), 3) NUTS3 areas so that Greater Helsinki area was treated separately, and 4) municipality type (urban, semi-urban, rural). The first weight variable (otospaino) weights the results to match the whole Finnish population (the sum of the weights equals the size of the Finnish population). The second weight variable (analyysipaino) does not produce this kind of extension (the weighted mean is 1 and the sum equals the number of cases). Both variables are based on the same calibration process, only the scale is different.
