Japanese women lose about 111 trillion yen, or $761 billion at the current exchange rate, to unpaid homework. he is writing Bloomberg. This amount corresponds to about one-fifth of the gross domestic product of Japan, the world’s third largest economy.
According to statistics from the Japanese government, men in the country do less than 30% of the unpaid work women do at home. The average Japanese spends 41 minutes a day doing this, while women spend three hours a day. Journalists cited the relevant estimates as an indicator reflecting the wage gap between men and women in Japan.
Naoko Kugi, senior research fellow at the NLI Research Institute, estimated that incomes of the sexes would be nearly equal if household wages were allowed. Women raising children aged 20 to 44 would theoretically be paid more than men of the same age. In the 45-59 age category, men will maintain their leadership due to the large number of managers among them.
With data According to EYO University, Russian women spend an average of six hours a day doing housework and childcare, and get 1.2 times less rest than men. The researchers also found that men spend, on average, 40 more minutes per day in paid work than women, but that fact does not fully compensate for the difference in workload that women have to fulfill during their unpaid hours. The HSE survey was conducted among 9,299 adult Russians in 2021-2022.
