dc.description.abstractThe report provides a concise description of project activities, outcomes and outputs. The project provides the first economic analysis using data from China’s nationally representative Time Use Survey (TUS). Resulting estimates show that women do not have the same ability as men to trade off one type of work for another. Changes in life events and economic standing contribute to a widening of the gender gap in the amount of time spent in non-work activity. The value of unpaid work is estimated to be between 25 to 32 percent of China’s official GDP.en
