摘要	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.	Descriptive statistics is a set of procedures that numerically and visually summarises the essential characteristics of a dataset: central tendency (mean, median, mode), spread (standard deviation, interquartile range), shape (skewness, kurtosis), and frequency distributions. Systematised for applied data analysis by John W. Tukey in his 1977 work on Exploratory Data Analysis, descriptive statistics serves as the indispensable first step before any inferential or modelling procedure.	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.
