Unpaid Work, Gender Equity and Health: How Can Ukraine Benefit from Time-use Data?

household duties
distribution of domestic chores in Ukraine
impacts of COVID-19 on housework distribution

Time-use data show that females spend much more time on unpaid household duties compared to men. The situation worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic due to higher job loss among women and more time spent with children due to school closures. This gender injustice has devastating health consequences for women, and, somewhat surprisingly, to future generations of Ukrainians of both genders. Ukraine should start regularly collecting time-use data right after the victory to guide social policies if we are serious about achieving gender and health equity in the European family of free and prosperous nations.
