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.	The Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI) is a survey-based composite measure developed in 2013 by IFPRI, the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, and USAID's Feed the Future initiative to capture women's empowerment, agency, and inclusion in the agricultural sector. It uses the Alkire-Foster dual-cutoff counting method to aggregate five domains of empowerment (the 5DE) and adds a Gender Parity Index that compares each woman to the primary man in her own household. A widely used project-level adaptation, pro-WEAI, was released in 2019 for use in evaluating development projects.
