Unpaid Work
Unpaid work refers to tasks and responsibilities that individuals perform without receiving financial compensation. This can include activities such as household chores, caregiving for family members, and volunteering in the community. Unpaid work is often essential for maintaining family life and supporting social structures.
Many people, especially women, engage in unpaid work, which can sometimes go unrecognized in economic measurements. While it contributes significantly to society, it is often overlooked in discussions about labor and economic value. Understanding unpaid work is crucial for addressing issues of gender equality and social welfare.
