This is a perverse logic that deprives people of services that they provided to others throughout the course of their own lives (G6mez, 2008). This means recognizing and determining the value of the contribution made by men and women to the country's overall output through unpaid household work. Nonetheless, the limited definition of the System of National Accounts (SNA) production boundary excludes the domestic and care services produced or consumed by members of a household from the central framework of macroeconomic analysis. This conceals the importance of these activities for the economy, and perpetuates economic and power relationships.
