For instance, in Pakistan, women spend 5.5 hours on housework and 1.2 hours on childcare daily, while men spend 2.5 hours on housework and 0.2 hours on childcare. Otherwise, women’s unremunerated productive work will continue to limit their full economic participation, which results in their greater uptake of part-time or seasonal work. The numerical presence of women across a broad range of decision-making forums alone provides only a proxy indicator of the actual influence of female decision makers. Their influence depends on whether and how they represent issues of strategic importance to women.
