Your proposal for measuring unpaid labor sounds great! I just checked, and actually there is not already a Wikipedia article on unpaid labor - there is only this section: Labor_force#Paid_and_unpaid_labor. If you wanted to take a step into the broader picture and start an article on unpaid labor then have a section within that on measuring unpaid labor, then that could be an option for you if you had sources. Otherwise, I encourage to you connect other Wikipedia articles to whatever you write and to connect your article to other articles as well. Write me if you need anything. Good luck!

Hey I posted this on my talk page, but just to make sure you see it.... I went ahead and moved my talk to page to the main feminist economics page. I made some organizational changes to your section (very minor) that you can check out on the main feminist economics page. It may be easier if you begin editing on the main page as well. Maybe we will get some other editors feedbacka s well? Feel free to change as you see fit. Also, I think some of your sections might fit well into the other sections if you would like to take a look and see if that makes sense to you. Let me know what you think. Your work looks good.

Hi Fmveblen, I think your proposal about unpaid labor sounds great, very thorough and is definitely needed! I am working on an overhaul of the majority of the feminist economics page. I am working on a new outline and some major changes in my sandbox which I think you can find here: [| virginiawhite09 sandbox] . How would you feel about writing in the section 3.6 "Unpaid Work?" If that sounds alright to you then I will just leave this section blank for your work. Does this seem like a logical placement to you or would you suggest a different placement? The page is still rough, but if you have any other changes that you might suggest I would appreciate those as well.

Also, I may come across some references that might be helpful to you in my research process. If so I will pass those along to you.

Unpaid work page?[edit]

Hi,

I was looking over your work on unpaid work on the feminist economics] page and it occurred to me that there might be enough there for you to make a new unpaid work page. As far as I can tell this page does not yet exist on wikipedia and I think it might be a good overall contribution to wikipedia. I understand if you do not want to take this route, I just thought I might encourage you to do it since such a page is totally absent from wikipedia. If you do decide to do this, I think you could pretty much move what is currently on the feminist economics page to a new page, and then simply write a short summary on the feminist economics page and then provide a main link to your new page.

I think your work looks good though!

Editing Answer[edit]

I did not write the whole article. My contribution ends with the theoretical perspectives. So I did not write the section "Women's attitude and the environment" or anything following that.

Review[edit]

-”Domestic work an activity done” I think you missed a verb in there.

-”Subsistence work is work done in order to meet base needs, such as collecting water, which do not have any market values assigned to them” This sentence is a bit fragmented. Maybe you could pull it together by saying “...in order to meet base needs. Subsistence tasks, such as collecting water, do not have...”

-”Feminist economists have criticized this system for this exclusion,” This is a small detail, but I think it is more fluid to say “..have criticized the system for this exclusion” to avoid repetition without losing specificity.

-The headings for accurate information, comparability, and complexity seem out of place because they are considerably smaller than other headings.

Overall, very good! Good sourcing, and logical progression of content.
