Unseen, Unpaid, Undervalued: The Reality...

THE ECONOMIC TIMES
About this episode

Women regardless of privilege or education continue to shoulder the invisible burden of caregiving and domestic work. They may appear independent and empowered but behind the scenes, most women are still doing it all, unpaid and unacknowledged. In this conversation host Apoorva Mittal talks with Sunaina Kumar, Senior Fellow at Observer Research Foundation, about the weight of domestic labor, the need for flexible policies, trustworthy childcare, and the cultural shifts essential to making real progress. Because recognizing invisible work is the first step toward equity.
