If an employment scheme counts only paid work what effect can it have on women's contribution?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Unpaid care contribution may remain hidden

The direct answer is A: unpaid care contribution may remain hidden. Work is not limited to a job that brings a wage. Cooking, cleaning, caring for children, looking after older people and other household tasks require time and effort, even when no money is paid. If an employment scheme counts only paid work, these activities will not appear in its records. Therefore the contribution of many women can be underestimated. Option A is correct because unpaid care labour may become statistically invisible. Option B is wrong: counting only paid work cannot automatically increase women's income. Option C is wrong: care work does not end merely because a scheme excludes it from measurement. Option D is wrong: one narrow measurement rule cannot complete gender equality. The reasoning is: unpaid work exists; the scheme excludes it; its recorded value becomes zero or hidden; women's total contribution is then misrepresented. Memory cue: paid work counted does not mean all work counted.
