On International Women's Day, count your care with CWW's new web app!

On International Women’s Day, we reflect on how far the world has come in giving women and girls equal opportunities and how far we still have to go. We have made great strides toward gender equality in primary education, property rights, protection under the law, and access to labor markets. Large gender gaps still exist in wages, political representation, wealth, and enforcement of laws on gender equality. One factor behind some of these gaps may be unequal responsibility for unpaid care work.

Counting Women’s Work data shows us how large those gaps are and how they differ by age, country, and region. Click the button below to try our new online app and see how much time YOU spend in unpaid care work compared to people around the world.

While you are counting your work, let’s think about what it means. Is this work valuable? Is it valued? Are we satisfied with how the drudgery and joy is shared by women and men, governments and private markets? The more we count ALL of our work, the more our work counts.
