Most women work a double day, both in their place of employment and at home.
Yet, they are seldom recognized for the work that they do outside of the home and virtually none are paid for the work they do maintaining their homes and families. The economic measurements that are used to calculate the wealth and the income of nation states do not include the unpaid work that is done by women in households. A great deal of the work is done by women in agriculture. Many assume that because the work is unpaid it is of little value. These are not the only economic contributions made by women.
