Women's Labor

Women's labor refers to the contributions women make to the workforce, both formally and informally. This includes paid jobs in various sectors, as well as unpaid work, such as caregiving and household tasks. Historically, women's labor has often been undervalued and overlooked, leading to disparities in wages, opportunities, and recognition compared to men's labor. Intersectionality also plays a role, as race, class, and other factors affect women’s experiences in the workforce. Understanding women’s labor highlights its crucial impact on economies, families, and societies, calling for equity and support in all forms of work women engage in.
