Book Summary
This non-fiction, social science volume examines how women’s unpaid work in the home sustains families and economies. It argues that a substantial portion of daily labor remains invisible in traditional economic measures and offers a differentiated method for valuing this labor, grounded in empirical research from Odisha, India. Written for readers interested in development studies, gender economics, public policy, and social change, the tone is thoughtful, rigorous, and hopeful—designed to inform discussion and policy without sensationalism.
The content blends macro-level policy analysis with micro-level household realities. It presents field data, practical valuation approaches, and vivid examples that connect national accounting questions to everyday life in Odisha. The reading experience is engaging and accessible, bridging theory and lived experience to illuminate how recognition of unpaid labor could reshape economic thinking and policy planning.
Concepts covered include time-use accounting, valuation methods, and the intersection of gender and economics, along with policy implications for national statistics and development programs. Learning feels approachable through clear explanations, concrete examples, and practical implications for policy design and advocacy.
Readers gain a nuanced understanding of how unpaid work supports households and communities, empowering researchers, policymakers, and advocates to discuss value, craft inclusive policies, and advance gender equality. By the end, readers are better equipped to analyze economic questions related to care work and to recognize the broader social and policy implications of invisible labor.
