Abstract

Understanding women’s work along the paid-underpaid-unpaid continuum presents a more holistic conceptualisation of women’s work, recognising work burdens across the spheres of production and reproduction. This paper takes recourse to unit-level data from India Time-Use Survey (2019) to demonstrate the women’s work continuum, highlighting the uneven burden of unpaid household work on women across varied employment categories and economic activities. Controlling for other confounders, women from marginalised castes and lower income groups are more likely to undertake unpaid activities. Further, marital status and location (rural-urban) are also crucial factors in determining the probability of women undertaking unpaid work and time spent on different activities. Therefore, it is imperative to recognise and understand women’s work through the lens of the continuum and intersectionality.
