Women spend 207 days per year working without wages
VTV.vn - 75% of unnamed and unpaid work is done by women, resulting in less time to earn money and relax.

This is according to the "Make a house become a home" report released by the Gender Equality Department and ActionAid Vietnam. Research shows that women spend an average of 4.5 hours a day, 32 hours a week, 207 days a year on unpaid work.

Women spend 7 months annually working without wages. Unpaid work involves housework and family care such as cooking and laundry.

Although this type of work is usually time-consuming and heavy, causing women to sacrifice their interests, unpaid work often goes unrecognized.
