More than 50% of work is not paid at all - mostly in household and care. This work receives no financial compensation. While women already earn 12% less than men when it comes to paid labor, if unpaid labor is factored in, the real pay gap widens dramatically: women earn 45% less than men. Unconditional Basic Income (UBI) would help immensely here. #genderpaygap #basicincome #UBI #eciubi2027 https://wid.world/document/global-labour-hours-in-paid-and-unpaid-work-inequality-productivity-and-structural-transformation-1800-2100-world-inequality-lab-working-paper-2025-08/ https://basic-income.eu/
