Write in your own words what is meant by the terms ‘invisible’, ‘physically demanding’, and 'time consuming’? Give one example of each based on the household tasks undertaken by women in your home.

Answer 1

Invisible here means something which is not noticed. A good example will be breakfast in the morning, which we eat without realizing the amount of effort put in making it.

Physically demanding means something which requires hard work. An example of this is washing clothes.

Time consuming means something which takes a long time to be done. Cleaning the house is an example of this.
