Abstract: Unpaid labour, particularly in domestic, agricultural, and informal sectors, constitutes a significant but undervalued component of Bangladesh’s economy. This article examines the systemic challenges—cultural, legal, and economic—that perpetuate the marginalization of unpaid work, disproportionately affecting women and children. Through a mixed-methods approach, the study identifies gaps in policy frameworks and proposes actionable strategies, including legal reforms, gender-sensitive awareness campaigns, and data-driven inclusion of unpaid labour in national accounting systems. The findings underscore the urgency of recognizing unpaid work to achieve gender equity and sustainable development in Bangladesh.
