Unpaid care work and women's human rights 2013, para. 17
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- Intensive unpaid care workloads create chronic time deficits, limiting opportunities for women and girls to access and progress in education, participate in income-earning activities and accumulate retirement incomes and savings, contributing to their higher vulnerability to poverty. Constraints imposed by care responsibilities also contribute to the concentration of women in low-waged, precarious, unprotected employment, in hazardous or unhealthy conditions with high risk to their health and well-being. Such jobs are less likely to enable them to lift themselves out of poverty. Ultimately, the combination of lack of time and social subordination restricts women's ability to participate on an equal footing in public life.
