There is no such thing as a woman who doesn’t work. There is only a woman who isn’t paid for her work.

This all leaves women facing extreme poverty in their old age, in part because they simply can’t afford to save for it. But it’s also because when governments are designing pension schemes, they aren’t accounting for women’s lower lifetime earnings. This isn’t exactly a data gap, because the data does mostly exist. But collecting the data is useless unless governments use it. And they don’t.

is women’s unpaid work under valued because we don’t see it – or is it invisible because we don’t value it?
