In most cultures, it is traditionally the man who spends the most hours per day at work, and how the analysis as the MenCare report 'State of the World's Fathers' shows, this is still the case in most parts of the world. However, there is a difference between 'at work' and 'working'. For many people, 'working' does not mean going to the office or factory, but being a carer at home or in the local community.
Of course, this type of work is not usually associated with financial gain. According to the United Nations, this unpaid Support "preparing meals, cleaning, washing clothes, collecting water and fuel, and providing direct care to people (including children, the elderly, people with disabilities and healthy adults)".
As this infographic shows, globally it is women who perform the majority of these unpaid hours, and in every region the total amount of time spent on paid or unpaid work is higher for women than for men. With the exception of East Asia and the Pacific, where the ratio is almost 50:50, the majority of time worked by women is unpaid.
