Unpaid Work

Women contribute around two thirds of the estimated value of total unpaid work in Australia.

• Unpaid Work and the Australian Economy

  The Australian Bureau of Statistics estimated the value of unpaid work in Australia in Occasional Paper: Unpaid Work and the Australian Economy (ABS Cat no 5240.0), based on data collected in the 1997 Time Use Survey.

• Time Use Survey

  Time use surveys are the best source we have for information about unpaid work: its quantity, its nature, and its distribution by gender and by social and economic factors.

• Volunteers

  Key figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics publication on volunteering, Voluntary Work, Australia 2000.
