Invisible Work Diary
work that nobody asks for
anyone does not pay off
and no one thanks
What is the invisible work? This term describes the household and other chores people often do not recognize. Examples: dishwashing, laundry, childcare, organizing and schedules, grocery shopping, cooking, but also keep touch with friends and family, planning vacations, and maintaining intimacy in your romantic relationship that can often be invisible as well.
Countless research studies have shown that in heterosexual couples, the majority of the invisible labor is done by women, even when there is an intention of equality.
Invisible labor is often only noticed when it’s not done!
Women spend six more hours than men every week on household tasks(Statistics Sweden 2020 Women and men in Sweden 2020 Facts and figures).If one person in the relationship is doing the majority of the invisible labor, it tends to negatively impact their mental health.
