This is one of my pet topics, so I don't want to get started at half past midnight. But I'm really pleased that this issue has been raised, because I think it's essential if one wants a gender-responsive budget and if one wants gender equality. I think the unequal burden that women around the world bear in terms of unpaid care work underlies a whole lot of the inequalities.
I'm trained as an economist, and most budget people will be trained as economists, and economists are taught to see only money. So they simply don't see the unpaid care work, although the system of national accounts acknowledges that this is work and that it produces things. I think Canada has some polices that address this issue, but I'm sure it could do a whole lot more.
