Preferred term

invisible work  

Definition(s)

  • Despite its centrality to society, what constitutes work remains contested terrain. For example, whereas driving a cab or performing surgery tend to be perceived as real work, many other activities—equally labor-intensive and as widespread—often do not gain such recognition. [Source: Sociology of Work: An Encyclopedia; Invisible Work]
