Unpaid work: Allocation of time and time-use

About Makeover Monday

MakeoverMonday is a social data project: “Each week we post a link to a chart, and its data, and then you rework the chart. Maybe you retell the story more effectively, or find a new story in the data. We’re curious to see the different approaches you all take. Whether it’s a simple bar chart or an elaborate infographic, we encourage everyone of all skills to partake. Together we can have broader conversations about and with data.”

Starting from Jan 08, 2018, I decided to put aside one hour on Monday weekly to create some visualization and find some insights from the data.

The datasets are published each week at: MakeoverMonday Datasets.

Makeover Monday 20200406

This week’s dataset is UN’s survey on work time by paid and unpaid and gender. I think it’s a well-recognized problem today that women are taking much more unpaid works (especially for demestic care and volunteer work). And this is true across the world. You can find the original viz here. It has comprehensive data and documentation on this project.

Another week of Gantt plot :) I am using it too much recently.

Insights

• In all the countries surveyed, we are seeing women spent higher percentage of work time on unpaid work;
• The gender gap is most severe in African countries and some Middle East countries;
• The northern Europe countries (Sweden, Norway and Denmark) did best regarding the gender gap of unpaid work time, but even the top country still has 5% gap…
