Σύνοψη	Care work measurement is the set of methods used to quantify the labor of looking after people — children, the elderly, the sick, and able-bodied adults — whether it is paid or unpaid, performed directly or as background supervision. Because most unpaid care is done by women and is invisible to standard labor statistics, the gross national product literally does not count it. Care measurement closes that gap using time-use diaries, care diaries, and stylized survey questions, organized by internationally harmonized activity classifications such as ICATUS, and often extended to assign an economic value to unpaid care.	Unpaid work valuation assigns a monetary value to the household and care work — cooking, cleaning, childcare, eldercare — that falls outside the market and is therefore excluded from gross domestic product. By multiplying measured hours of unpaid work by an imputed wage, it makes the economic contribution of this overwhelmingly female-performed labor visible, typically reported in national-accounts satellite accounts as recommended by the System of National Accounts.
