Costs of Doing a Job For Urban Women In Sri Lanka - Infographics 2022
Abstract
This IKR entry contains infographics done to disseminate the findings of the report "Costs of Doing a Job for Urban Women in Sri Lanka". The study found that the cost of doing a job is 1.6 times the compensation they receive. This suggests that cost, particularly implicit non-monetary costs, are an important factor in women’s labour market decisions. Additionally, this study finds that the affordability and reliability of childcare as well as patriarchal cultural norms and expectations play a pivotal role in shaping the “cost” women bear to engage in paid work.
