Which method will be most useful to include women workers work in policy?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Conducting time-use studies and maintaining systematic labour records
Time-use studies measure the time women spend on paid work, domestic work and care work. Systematic labour records provide evidence of work that is often invisible or unpaid, enabling policymakers to include it in services, social security and labour policies. Mere appreciation or treating such work as a private responsibility does not produce the data needed for policy. Exam tip: Mention time-use surveys as a key tool for measuring invisible labour.
