Most work done by women globally 'is unpaid', Oxfam says

A new Oxfam report reveals that around 65% of women's working hours worldwide are unpaid, highlighting the undervaluation of women's contributions. Domestic duties, such as cooking and cleaning, often carried out by women globally, are not considered in official economic figures.
Oxfam describes the measurement of economic figures as "anti-feminist and colonial" since it only focuses on what can be monetized, rendering women's work invisible in the "private" sphere.
