Previous Sessions

The session was conducted on 16th August 2020. We discussed the Chapter 12 of the book Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men, titled "Costless Resource to Exploit" which deals with how household work, primarily done by women, is not accounted for when measuring productive activities leading to one of the biggest gender data gaps.
