Is there any particular reason why you are assuming that housekeeping and child rearing should be the exclusive responsibility of women?

I'm struggling to see any honest point in this comment.

I think OP was making a statement about how things are rather than how they should be.

I agree with you that this shouldn’t be the case, but right now it absolutely is the case in India.

OP's comment doesn't add anything of value in that case. In 99% of cultures out there, traditional roles imply that the women is a homemaker.

Nobody reasonable assumes that women not counted in labor participation statistics are partying on the moon :-)

I.e.: we already knew what he's saying.

A childcare facility shows up in labor statistics, why shouldn’t a mother’s labor?

I said saying only 20% of women are involved in labor in India is incorrect. That number is much much higher if you take those into account.

The statistic is saying that 20% of women in India participate in the workforce as it is defined.

Are you trying to say that the 60% of Chinese women includes women who are homemakers and aren't in the workforce as it is defined?

You’re wrong. Every country would have 99% labor participation rate if you count those. It’s not meaningful

The fact is only 20% of women are not getting paid for their labor. It’s a sign of huge lack of development progress
