Answer:The work is not considered an Economic Activity. Hence the women are not paid.
Explanation:
1. The work of women in household is considered a work done for welfare of the family.
2. The work does not help the country directly( but helps indirectly as it improves the quality of human resource). So, it is not identified as a job.
3. Moreover, the work needs no qualification and training. So it is not paid.
4. Women are not employed by anyone to do the work. As only the employed people earn money, women at home do not earn money.
Thus the work done by a woman (housewife) at home is not taken as an economic activity and hence not paid.
However, when the same work is done by a person other than a family member (like housekeepers, servants etc.) it is paid because the work is not done for his/her family.
Hope this helps you....
