Journal 2

What is the value of unpaid labour to national output?
Group members: Lottie Quinn, Gabriella Poznansky, Mathew Power, Heather Chesterman.

In this session we identified and analysed key sources on which to base our report; and also outlined the structure and content of the report.

We have decided that in order to adequately assess the government’s household for national statistics account we need to choose what is most important to value, this being the work women do in the home namely childcare, cooking and cleaning. Therefore we are going to analyse the tables of statistics the satellite account offers to see if they completely cover the domestic work women do in the home.
