Compared to men, how much more unpaid care and domestic work do women carry out?
Answers
On Equal Pay Day, it’s also important to recognize the unpaid work women do.
Women in countries that are members of the intergovernmental economic group, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, spend about 271 minutes or about 4.5 hours per day on average doing unpaid work, according to the OECD. That’s compared with 137 minutes, or slightly more than two hours, for men. In the U.S., that division of labor is just slightly more equitable, with women doing an average of 242 minutes of unpaid work compared with 148 minutes for men, the OECD found.
If women’s paid participation in the formal economy was equivalent to that of men, it would add $28 trillion or 26% to global GDP, according to McKinsey.
