Nadya’s Quotes

“Canada’s national statistical agency tried to measure the value of unpaid work. Between 30.6 and 41.4% of the GDP, they concluded. The first number is calculated on the basis of how much it would cost to replace unpaid work with paid. The other is based on how much a person would earn if they were earning a wage while they were doing housework. Whatever the method – the sum is enormous.”
― Katrine Kielos, Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner?: A Story of Women and Economics
