VALUATION OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF A HOUSEWIFE: A COMPARATIVE SEARCH FOR URBAN AND RURAL FAMILIES

As a result of their productive work, women make important contributions to the economy; nevertheless, their contributions are often disregarded in the accounting of national income since accounting has an inadequate description of what it entails. The work that rural and urban women undertake behind the scenes is often not recognized, which leads to it being underestimated and disrespected. As a result of the constraints that the market places on the idea of accounting, the market undervalues the work that is done by women. This is because the majority of the work that women do outside of the market goes unrecognized. This study compiles primary data from the Jodhpur area of Rajasthan in order to quantify the dollar value of unpaid labor done by rural and urban women on a daily, monthly, and annually basis and to compare this number. The data for this study comes from the region of Jodhpur. A calculation is made to determine both the extent of the unpaid labor and the level of degree.
