  • Aina talks about unpaid care work and its impact on society as a whole. She talks about entrenched societal expectations of genders and the uneven gender revolution. Finally, she explains the importance of normalising involvement of men in care work through socialisation. Aina Salleh is currently a Master’s in Public Policy candidate. In her previous life, she wore many hats; she was a prosecuting officer for the capital market regulator for Malaysia. As a writer for Malaysia’s first gender discourse platform, Aina believes in the power of conversations in sparking change. Her articles discuss contemporary challenges that women face and her first ever published article was shared over 4,000 times across five countries. Motivated to be a change maker, Aina reimagines a reality where unpaid care work no longer holds women back. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    This topic resonates so deeply with me. Society takes for granted the care work women, put in daily. I hope the men watching this will realise the toll it takes on women and for the women watching this to raise a better generation of men.

    Well delivered. The approach of quantifying unpaid care work sheds necessary light on a silent crisis that we as a society have shown longstanding apathy to. If we don’t have the collective maturity to redistribute the burden simply out of care, perhaps providing a business case just might do so.

    Eloquently put! Unpaid care work is the backbone of our economy, and gender roles are preventing women from getting their due. We don’t want social recognition for our labour when all it does is reenforces those gender roles for other women. Men should be involved in unpaid care, or pay women for their labour!

    In this discussion, it is indeed women are really important in every household which they play an important role in every day lives. It is happening and I've witnessed things like this even when I was a child. Mothers still works and do unpaid care work even they have full time work and is tired of that, but when they come home they do everything household chores and care for their children whilst the husband, after work they just rest, eat and sleep. I find it very unfair because men are much stronger physically than women then why they don't even do voluntarily those household chores. I feel bad because this is what I see in our home, and maybe later on I will be a mother too and I'm scared to think that I will work unpaid care work nonstop.

    Domestic labour and unpaid caregiving are essential for people's wellbeing as well as the operation of the market economy. The stress of juggling both productive and reproductive work has an adverse impact on women's lives globally, limiting their access to economic possibilities and their influence inside the home. The wellbeing of individuals and society as a whole depends on both paid and unpaid care and household work. Even though some jobs, like spending time with your children or making dinner, may be more enjoyable than others, they all help to maintain a productive and healthy community.

      Theyre expected to work because of 2023 inflation because of the rich trying to maintain us as slaves to their corporations. What did you think? If you’re rich and married you can live like couples lived in the 1950’s. But that fairy tale is over for you woman. Your realities have become similar to a mans reality because you wanted it. You wanted equality but yet you cannot assume it.

    Ayon sa video na aking napanuod ,tinatalakay dito kung paano gumagalaw ang mga unpaid worker and kung ano ba ang halaga nila sa ating pamilya and sa ating lipunan. Ipinahahayag dito na ang mga babae ay isang natural multitasker na kung saan sobrang halaga ng mga babae sa ating lipunan. Habang pinapanuod ang video na realize ko na sobrang laki pala ng role ng mga babae hindi lang sa ating family pati nadin sa ating lipunan. Kaya dapat mas bigyan natin sila ng galang at respetuhin sila bilang isang babae na tinatawag na mga unpaid workers at bigyan saludo at karangalan dahil sa importante nilang role na ginagamapan sa ating family and lipunan.

    I learned in the video that unpaid care workers, especially women, play a vital role in sustaining the families and community.
    For me, unpaid care work is like the backbone of our society. These caregivers, whether looking after children, the elderly, or managing household responsibilities, provide an essential foundation for families and communities. Recognizing the importance of unpaid care work is crucial, not only for gender equality but for overall societal health. Policies and cultural recognition that value and support these caregivers are essential, as they not only improve the quality of life for individuals and families but also contribute to the economic and social well-being of nations as a whole. It's time to shine a light on their often-overlooked contributions and provide the recognition and support they truly deserve.

    Siya ay nagsasalita tungkol sa nakabaon na mga inaasahan ng lipunan sa mga kasarian at ang hindi pantay na rebolusyon ng kasarian. Sa wakas, ipinaliwanag niya ang kahalagahan ng pag-normalize ng pakikilahok ng mga lalaki sa gawaing pangangalaga sa pamamagitan ng pagsasapanlipunan. Eloquently ilagay! Ang walang bayad na trabaho sa pangangalaga ay ang gulugod ng ating ekonomiya, at ang mga tungkulin ng kasarian ay humahadlang sa kababaihan na matanggap ang kanilang nararapat. Hindi namin gusto ang pagkilala sa lipunan para sa aming paggawa kapag ang ginagawa lang nito ay nagpapatibay sa mga tungkulin ng kasarian para sa ibang kababaihan. Ang mga lalaki ay dapat na kasangkot sa walang bayad na pangangalaga, o bayaran ang mga kababaihan para sa kanilang paggawa! Jasmin G Castillo BSHM 4B

    Women doing housework for their own family is not unpaid, rather she gets her rent/mortgage covered, utilities, food, mobile phone bill, car rego, fuel etc paid for or subsidized by her husbands efforts at work.
    Also if she works and does less hours or brings home less pay then she needs to balance that by doing more of the housework. It is equality.

      you missed the point. she’s talking about homes where there isn’t equality in labor at all, which unfortunately is still a very real problem. many women are expected to work full time as well as carry the load of raising the children and taking care of the home while the man also works but only uses his free time for hobbies not helping around the house. and the reality is that in most homes the men DONT work more than their wives and actually work a fairly even amount. these are based on statistics so i don’t want to see any whataboutism responses about your special case scenarios. if it doesn’t apply let it fly
