One of the significant structural barriers to women ‘s economic empowerment is women’s disproportionate burden of unpaid work at home that restricts women from taking up paid jobs , undertaking advanced education and skill training , and most importantly – participation in public life. The household chores have economic value but is not counted in traditional measures of GDP. Unpaid labor is defined as labor that does not receive any direct remuneration. This is a form of ‘nonmarket work’ which can fall into one of two categories: (1) unpaid work that is placed within the production boundary of the System of National Accounts (SNA), such as gross domestic product (GDP), and (2) unpaid work that falls outside of the production boundary (non-SNA work), such as domestic labor that occurs inside households for their consumption. Unpaid labor is visible in many forms and isn’t limited to activities within a household. Other types of unpaid labor activities include volunteering as a form of charity work and interning as a form of unpaid employment.
