The New York Times recently reported analysis by Oxfam showing that the unpaid work done by women, if paid at minimum wage, would be worth $10.9 trillion last year. This is work that isn’t valued by our society. But it also isn’t valued at a household level. Responsibility for this work is also a major driver of mental load.
ThirdShift helps you to value household work by understanding who is doing the work, what it’s worth, and how you can manage it more fairly.
86% of working mothers say they are responsible for handling all family and household responsibilities. And that – the job of being the CEO, people manager and admin assistant for the household – is the Mental Load. It’s the mental work of having to constantly remember, organise, account for, plan and manage your life and the lives of your household.
ThirdShift reduces mental load by taking over the work of remembering, capturing, delegating and managing household work so you don’t have to. So start understanding the value of your household work today.
