Invisible labour: the unpaid work that goes unnoticed, unacknowledged and unregulated that often falls on the shoulders of women

View descriptionShare

Every day, millions of women globally engage in activities that they are not financially remunerated for.

From cooking to cleaning to showing up at children’s school activities, women are responsible for 75% of all unpaid care and domestic work, which is far more than their male counterparts.

It is estimated that women spend an average of 4.5 hours per day doing unpaid work, as compared with just over two hours for men.
