Concept information
Preferred term
invisible work
Definition
- Despite its centrality to society, what constitutes work remains contested terrain. For example, whereas driving a cab or performing surgery tend to be perceived as real work, many other activities—equally labor-intensive and as widespread—often do not gain such recognition.
