Proportion of time spent on unpaid domestic and care work, female (% of 24 hour day)

This indicator reflects the average duration that women dedicate each day to non-remunerated activities within the household, encompassing a wide range of essential tasks. These responsibilities include cooking meals, cleaning, laundry, and maintaining the home environment, as well as providing care for children, the elderly, or individuals with disabilities. By analyzing this measure, we gain insights into the gendered distribution of unpaid labor, which is often undervalued in economic systems. Understanding the time allocation in these roles can illuminate social inequalities, influencing policies aimed at promoting shared responsibilities and enhancing women's participation in the workforce. This metric is crucial for addressing issues related to labor recognition and gender equity in domestic environments. Source:
