Domestic labor refers to the work done within a household to maintain a home and support its members. This includes tasks such as cleaning, cooking, laundry, and childcare. Domestic labor can be performed by family members or hired help, and it is essential for the smooth functioning of a household. While often undervalued, domestic labor plays a crucial role in society. It enables family members to focus on other responsibilities, such as employment or education. The recognition of domestic labor's importance has led to discussions about its economic value and the need for fair compensation, especially for those who perform it professionally.
