Gendered division of labor that structures the economic system,
 A mistaken perception of reality has historically resulted from the intellectual, political, and
social marginalization of non-market activities associated with the domestic/reproductive
domain.
 Part of the essential procedures necessary to preserve people's living situations stays concealed.
 Women's unpaid labor is paradigmatically invisible: there are no data, no concepts to describe
it, it is not compensated, it does not create social taxes, and there is no public or political
negotiation to govern it.
 As a result, it is a non-neutral invisibility of gender that requires additional attention, attempting
to undermine and/or reform prevailing conceptions in order to confront and change these
paradigms.
 Informal Economy
 The informal economy, for example, sits in between the visible and the invisible: it is a mechanism used by
businesses to outsource expenses while also providing a means for people to earn a living wage. However,
it lacks a 'essence of its own' and no clearly defined boundaries.
 Due to their intimate links to the home and family domain, women are concentrated in activities in this
informal sector where the borders of invisibility are much more tangible, such as the assistance they offer
to small family businesses.
 This isn't the result of a fair or natural process; rather, it's driven by the historical position that was thrust
upon them, by their indoctrination as charitable careers for the house and the residents, and by the historical
guilt placed on those who disobeyed this norm.
 In other words, the underrepresentation of women in family businesses is explained by the various roles
and responsibilities that men and women hold in society and the economy.
