How will making a time use diary at home help understand women's work?

Correct answer: It will show time spent in unpaid work

Direct answer: Option A, it shows time spent in unpaid work. A time-use diary is a record of what a person does during different parts of the day and how long each activity takes. Step by step: record activities such as cooking, cleaning, collecting water, caring for children or older people, and paid employment; write the time used for each; add the hours over a day or week; compare who performs which tasks. This makes unpaid and often invisible household labour measurable and easier to discuss in planning, policy and family decisions. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because writing a diary does not automatically raise wages, although evidence may support later demands for fair recognition. Option C is wrong because recording work does not end the work. Option D is wrong because a diary cannot directly reduce family size; it only records time and tasks. It can reveal unequal workloads and support better sharing of responsibilities. Memory cue: time-use diary makes invisible work visible.
