Thanks, Shahra Razavi! Not sure why you are not credited on this video for your excellent comment!

To become a more enlightened species we need to qualify/quantify unpaid work by currency. This is partly why a basic income is back in a general discussion.

Shahra Razavi could you tell more about you, please?

Hacia el reconocimiento del trabajo de la mujer

So the writer/ title of this video doesn't consider room,board,stipend, and access to a free automobile to be compensation? Also, isn't Social Security and / or retirement funds shared between married couples? I'm curious.

For those in APHG, 75% of unpaid work is women

@@freudianslip2192 I always find it hilarious when Americans think they are the centre of the universe. Hey, have you heard of the rest of the world? Maybe check UN or OECD stats. Here is one from the ILO. Average time spent by women and men in paid, unpaid and total work from 75 countries: women: 425 minutes; Men: 375 minutes But let's also look at the US. First, from PEW RESEARCH: "Analyses of pooled data from the American Time Use Survey of 2003 to 2011 indicate that on average, men spend about 10 hours more than women per week in paid work, although women spend about six hours more than men in household work and about three additional hours in child care, bringing the total work time to 45.6 hours per week for men and 45.2 hours for women." But that's not all. From the 2019 results, "Men spent more time in leisure activities (5.5 hours) than did women (4.9 hours)." And here is another from the US Dept of Labour statistics report 2019 "Another study that examined time spent in work and leisure found that among all women and men aged 15 and older, a “leisure gap” exists: while women and men spend about equal amounts of time on work (with men spending more on paid work and women more on household and child care), men spend, on average, approximately six hours more per week (49 minutes per day) doing leisure activities, such as playing sports, watching TV, socializing, and playing games. So, sounds like American men spend more time on leisure activities, such as "watching TV, socializing, or exercising" than women in 2019 (and keep in mind, this is self-reported). I am interested in the PEW RESEARCH where you found 62 hours a week and women work 55, because as you can see, they published very different numbers...and I couldn't find anything resembling what you said... And lets not forget in all of this discussion on paid and unpaid labour, women do the (vast) majority of the UNPAID part. And you wonder why there is a pay gap? Why women make the majority of the worlds poor? Why there is a pension gap and a land use gap? Men need to step up with their responsibilities with unpaid labour so that women have the time to dedicate to paid labour. Simple as.

About WSJ podcast "An interview with Melinda Gates at WSJ Tech Live about her work on unpaid work and the coronavirus and the inequities the pandemic has revealed," she is well informed but lacks half the picture in both her assessments of the crux of why COV-19 got out of control and who is affected the most financially, actually, on who is affected she lacks clarity completely. She leaves out the first set of circumstances in getting the virus under control and begins with testing for the virus which did not come out for at least a month. And who is affected? While upwards of 800k women lost jobs v. 200k plus men, and sites child care and all the unpaid labor women do and goes so far to suggest child care stipends, the severely disabled are totally left out. Why pay for child care in a household that already has two earners or more income per adult than the unpaid disabled people who save lives every day by being guinea pigs. People shouldn't have children to get welfare. I'm flabbergasted at her leaving out the infirm in her key philanthropy. Three sheets to the wind, Melinda.

Business leadership in this country already has a faded line between capitalism and the Native American philosophy. Like the Native American family, the tribe, you could bring in new blood to a company or even amongst chief officers, if your genes aren't leadership quality. Their family was run like a business too. I would have been happier helping a nice healthy couple raise healthy children in a society where everybody gets a viable opportunity. Or better yet, raise children as a community so all share the awesome tender years of a child's life and the child, in turn, benefits from all and can then make a more informed decision of the direction of his/her life's work. Our nuclear family doesn't work for most. It's good prevention for national security issues as well to encourage the spawning of healthy children only. Implications for the environment and oppressed are obvious. Healthier children are more respectful of the environment and people. A lot of people go around being other people, literally robbing our life force, because they are not the healthy people they are espoused to be. I think people are already doing this. Their networks are more important to them than many of their oppressed siblings and children from my experience. They just won't tell the truth because they are too greedy to split the loaf with the people that can iron out the finer societal details and solutions born from the less glamorous roles of family and businesses and the guinea pig roles of health-care experimentation. This makes us the savages the Natives were falsely accused of. That's one reason why North Eastern American Chiefs sought advice from the women's sweat groups.

Fooding, accommodation, facilities, bills, clothes, vacations, holiday destinations, restaurants, jewellery, medical bills, insurance, latest gadgets, salon, transportation, education(in some cases), A lower middle class husband spends total INR 45-50 Lac minimum for his wife in a 30 years marriage on an average.

"but it is also valued less than paid work." By many, but they were also taught to view it as having less value. It's often feminists who look down on the value of that work. After all ladies, it's a penalty not having a full time paid job, even though only 20% of workers are passionate about their job and the remainder of all workers dream of a day when they can quit.

Great I fully support this, lets liberate women they have shouldered this burden for all of history. While at it lets also make works done by fire fighters, construction works, mine works and military gender balanced. Women, kindly mobilize and have a stance on this also.

GDP!

Unpaid work makes everybody poorer.

So long as everyone is using the same methods for calculating GDP, one can rationally compare different economies, so no need to add this unpaid labor calculation. The narrator here seems more motivated by a sense of resentment and injustice that this unpaid labor is not counted. It is unclear how the world would be improved if economists dreamed up a metric for counting this unpaid labor and added it to GDP calculations. Seems like a lot of work for no real benefit, other than making certain feminists feel better. Here's an interesting factoid that I learned in a Macroeconomics course I took 44 years ago in college. If two neighbors clean each other's houses and are paid the same amount, then the GDP of the nation increases, yet the outcome (two clean houses) is the same.

Unpaid work includes a diverse range of activities that take place outside the cash nexus. It includes: (i) unpaid work on the household plot or in the family business; (ii) activities such as the collection of water and firewood for self-consumption; and (iii) unpaid care of one’s child, elderly parent or friend affected by a chronic illness. • Some elements of unpaid work-for example, unpaid work in a family business-are included in the SNA production boundary and should be included in calculations of GDP. • Other elements of unpaid work-for example, collection of firewood and water-are (since the 1993 revision of the SNA) included in the SNA production boundary and should be included in GDP calculations, although relatively few countries do this. • Unpaid services such as shopping, meal preparation, washing clothes and so on and unpaid care provided for one’s child, elderly parent or neighbour are excluded from the SNA and GDP calculations. www.unrisd.org/80256B3C005BCCF9/%28httpAuxPages%29/2DBE6A93350A7783C12573240036D5A0/$file/Razavi-paper.pdf

She's not talking about women in formal employment (such as the healthcare industry) not getting paid -- but surely you understood that? She's talking about the vast amount of unpaid domestic work that women all over the world do, leaving them time-and cash-poor, lacking in important networks (not that men couldn't share in it, they just tend to be let off the hook of expectation) . This isn't just some cushy 'stay at home mom' scene, but applies also to women who work for pay, who work for family sustenance/survival, who work in the informal sector. It's possible to quantify unpaid domestic work by calculating what that family would have otherwise spent on getting a third party to do it (childcare, cooking, cleaning, caring for the sick/elderly etc -- it would all cost). If that was done, women's contribution would to national GDPs would increase hugely -- and possibly be valued as it damn well should be. There are also countless benefits of both men and women sharing such work, as no doubt you know.

Women doing housework for their own family is not unpaid, rather she gets her rent/mortgage covered, utilities, food, mobile phone bill, car rego, fuel etc paid for or subsidized by her husbands efforts at work. Also if she works and does less hours or brings home less pay then she needs to balance that by doing more of the housework. It is equality.
