Barely time to sleep: the struggle to balance care and work
Channel: Institute of Development Studies
Date: 01/03/2018

This story from India is based on a real woman’s day-to-day experience of paid work and care work responsibilities and the depleting effects it has on her wellbeing, and that of her family. In this film her story has been adapted into a script, anonymised and narrated by an actor. The photos are from the region where she lives but not of the woman herself. 

This story was created for the project ‘Balancing Unpaid Care Work and Paid Work: Successes, Challenges and Lessons for Women’s Economic Empowerment Programmes and Policies’, 2015-2017
