Measuring the Economic Value of Womens Household Work

The unpaid household work as recognized by the society is often not considered to be aproductive activity or a work having an economic value attached to it.

However, Unpaid domestic work is indeed an important and an indispensable factor which contributes not only to the smooth functioning of a household, but also to the economy. The conventional economy often fails to recognize this aspect of work where women stand hidden and unacknowledged. This type of work was termed as the ‘Economy of Care’ by Elson (1995)
