A report titled ‘The Contribution of Women to the Spanish Economy’ aims to provide a quantitative approximation of the economic value of women’s contribution to the labor market and the economy in Spain. The study argues that the additional work performed by women, including domestic and unpaid care work, is not taken into account in calculating the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country. The monetization of this work indicates that women’s contribution to the total economy of Spain is equal to or even surpasses that of men.
