Data presented for this indicator are expressed as a proportion of time in a day. In the case when the reference period is one week, weekly data is averaged over seven days of the week to obtain the daily average time.

Proportion of time spent on unpaid domestic and care work is calculated by dividing the daily average number of hours spent on unpaid domestic and care work by 24 hours.

Proportion of time spent on unpaid domestic and care work ( $I n d i c a t o r 5.4.1$ ) is calculated as:

$I n d i c a t o r 5.4.1 = \frac{D a i l y n u m b e r o f h o u r s s p e n t o n d o m e s t i c w o r k + D a i l y n u m b e r o f h o u r s s p e n t o n c a r e w o r k}{24} \times 100$

where,

$D a i l y n u m b e r o f h o u r s s p e n t o n r e l e v a n t a c t i v i t i e s = \frac{\begin{matrix} T o t a l n u m b e r o f h o u r s s p e n t b y \\ t h e p o p u l a t i o n o n r e l e v a n t a c t i v i t i e s \end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix} T o t a l p o p u l a t i o n (r e g a r d l e s s o f w h e t h e r \\ t h e y p a r t i c i p a t e d i n t h e a c t i v i t y) \end{matrix}}$

If data on time spent are weekly, data are averaged over seven days of the week to obtain daily time spent.

Average number of hours spent on unpaid domestic and care work derives from time-use statistics that are collected through stand-alone time-use surveys or a time-use module in multi-purpose household surveys. Data on time-use may be summarized and presented as either (1) average time spent for participants (in each activity) only or (2) average time spent for all populations of a certain age (total relevant population). In the former type of average, the total time spent by the individuals who performed the activity is divided by the number of persons who performed it (participants). In the latter type of averages, the total time is divided by the total relevant population (or a sub-group thereof), regardless of whether people performed the activity or not.

SDG indicator 5.4.1 is calculated based on the average number of hours spent on unpaid domestic and unpaid care work for the total relevant population. This type of measure can be used to compare groups and assess changes over time. Differences among groups or over time may be due to a difference (or change) in the proportion of those participating in the specific activity or a difference (or change) in the amount of time spent by participants, or both.
