Resumo	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.	Time-use analysis measures how people allocate their time across activities — paid work, unpaid domestic and care work, leisure, sleep, and more — typically using detailed daily diaries collected through time-use surveys. It is the foundational method for making visible the unpaid and care work that gross domestic product ignores, and it is central to gender studies because it quantifies the unequal division of household labor between women and men.
