Abstract
Argues that globally, women perform the major share of unpaid domestic and care work (UDCW) and that despite growing demand for statistics on UDCW, in many countries, data are collected infrequently or not at all. Suggests that one reason for this is the cost and complexity of the default measurement approach, the time use survey (TUS). The ILO’s LFS modular time use pilot project aims to contribute to addressing this gap by supporting the production of statistics on UDCW and total work time through existing national LFS programmes.
