The unpaid care work: paid work connection

Rania. Antonopoulos

ILO Working Papers from International Labour Organization

Abstract: Focuses on women's and men's division of labour between paid work and unpaid care work and its effects on gender equality with respect to decent work outcomes, and one's ability and power to make and act on choices; its interconnection with individual and family poverty; and on how economic and social policies and institutions influence women's options by reducing or increasing the burden of unpaid care work
