If a time use survey shows men doing more paid work and women doing more unpaid work what is the main conclusion?

Correct answer: Gendered division of work and unpaid burden are visible

The direct answer is B: a gendered division of work and an unpaid burden are visible. A time-use survey records how people spend their time, including both paid and unpaid activities. If men are shown doing more paid work while women do more unpaid domestic or care work, the conclusion is not that women do nothing; it is that work is divided unequally by gender and much of women’s work is unpaid. Option A is wrong because unpaid cooking, cleaning and care are still work. Option B is correct because it captures both the gender pattern and the unpaid burden. Option C is wrong because paid work remains economically important, even though unpaid work is also valuable. Option D is wrong because the survey may reveal inequality; the stated result does not prove that the survey is incorrect. Exam cue: count total work time, not only paid employment.
