Unpaid Household Work Satellite Account in Georgia

UN Women and the National Statistics Office of Georgia conducted Georgia’s first time-use survey in 2020–2021. The results revealed that women in Georgia spend almost five times more time on unpaid domestic and care work than men. Valuing the time spent on these unpaid activities - primarily performed by women - is a standard outcome of time-use surveys and is typically achieved by developing a satellite account for unpaid household work.

This report sheds light on a hidden dimension of the economy - unpaid domestic and care work - and helps make women’s contributions more visible by assigning a monetary value to this labor.

The report was prepared within the framework of the UN Women-implemented project “Good Governance for Gender Equality in Georgia – Phase II”, generously funded by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) and UN Women’s flagship programme “Making Every Woman and Girl Count - Phase II”.
