Eliminating discrimination against women in economic and social life with a focus on economic crisis 2014, para. 89
Párrafo
Paragraph text
A disproportionate amount of unpaid care work falls on women, limiting women's capacity to engage in paid work. This is evidenced in empirical studies which show that women, whether or not they are in paid employment, spend between twice to four times the amount of hours on care functions than do men. Up to 90 per cent of home care due to illness is performed by women and girls.
