This article from The New York Times explores the concept of unpaid work and its impact on society, with a specific focus on the unpaid work traditionally performed by women. It highlights the significant contributions made by women in various unpaid roles, such as caregiving, household chores, and volunteering, and discusses the economic and social costs associated with the undervaluation of women's work. The article argues that by not recognizing and compensating women for their unpaid labor, society is essentially devaluing their contributions and perpetuating gender inequality. It concludes by calling for a reevaluation of how society values and supports unpaid work, particularly the work performed by women, in order to achieve a more equitable and inclusive society.
