Quote:Childcare, eldercare, housework and other tasks are crucial to the foundations of strong families, communities and nations. Such work is often termed unpaid or “the work that makes all other work possible.” Women worldwide spend significantly more time than men performing these critical tasks.

Quote:The recent report states that, in general, women spend 2 to 10 times more time on unpaid care work than men, depending on region and other factors. Women in the U.S. who participate in unpaid work average 4.92 hours per day compared to 3.79 hours per day for men. However, in Utah, women spend 5.55 hours per day on unpaid work, compared to 3.22 hours for Utah men.
