From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am a 3L student at The University of Chicago Law School. I am interested in pages discussing Feminist Economics for a course I am taking at The Law School.

I am currently conducting research to make substantial additions to the "unpaid work" Wikipedia article. Currently, the unpaid work page is relatively short. There is a section on the page titled “Unpaid domestic work” which is where I would like to focus the bulk of my additions. I am very interested in the idea of placing economic value on the work women do within the home because without stay-at-home moms and unpaid work, families would need to pay for childcare and other domestic services. I think it is important to share this information with Wikipedia because it helps both men and women place financial value on the work done within the home.

I plan to add several sections and sub-sections to the unpaid work article as outlined below:

  1. Unpaid student interns in the United States
  2. Unpaid domestic work
    1. Definition
    2. Types of Unpaid Domestic Work
      1. Domestic Work
      2. Care Work
    3. Cause
    4. Effects
      1. Effects of Unpaid Domestic Work on Women
      2. Effects of Unpaid Domestic Work on Men
      3. Effects of Unpaid Domestic Work on Children
      4. Effects of Unpaid Domestic Work on Society
      5. Effects of Unpaid Domestic Work on the Economy
    5. History
    6. Ways to Measure Unpaid Domestic Work
      1. Time Use Measurement
      2. Collecting Data on Time Use Measurement
    7. Ways to Value Unpaid Domestic Work
      1. Opportunity Cost Method
      2. Replacement Cost Method
      3. Input-Output Cost Method
    8. The Double-Burden: Having a Job and Performing Unpaid Domestic Work
      1. Definition
      2. Effect of Double Burden on Women
