Telling the Story of Unpaid Work
The Global Gender Parity Initiative's Telling the Story of Unpaid Work journalism project conducts original research and produces journalism aimed at elevating the issue of unpaid work in the US and abroad. Through compelling storytelling highlighting the economic, political and societal importance of unpaid work, this initiative seeks to broaden the audience that cares about and understands the implications of valuing unpaid work, and to inform the policymakers who influence the way that unpaid work is integrated and calculated across legislation and international productivity measurements.
