'Housework', or 'unpaid domestic work' includes activities such as cooking, cleaning and maintaining a household. These activities contribute significantly to the economy and wellbeing of individuals and families, but are not recognised as 'labour' in national accounts (Alonso, et al. 2019). Although women's labour force participation has increased and traditional gender role attitudes have diminished over time, women still do the bulk of unpaid domestic work (Mills, et al. 2014). Time devoted to unpaid domestic work can affect a person's ability to participate in other activities, such as paid work (WGEA 2016). Hence it is recognised that having an accurate understanding of the patterns of unpaid domestic work is crucial for achieving gender equality, understanding the economy, and informing policy decisions that affect individuals and families.
