This grant will support efforts to make women’s economic lives more visible by creating cross-national databases to measure economic flows by age and gender, including the value of unpaid care and housework. In the first phase of the Counting Women’s Work project, local research teams from 15 countries completed the analytical work. During this grant period, the project will expand to more countries, and deepen research and policy outreach efforts. Outreach activities will include regional engagement such as presentations at the African Union, publication in peer-reviewed journals, and dissemination and communications events with global partners.
