40 years ago, the UN Declaration on the Right to Development (1986) affirmed that the human person is the central subject of development, an active participant and beneficiary.

As women’s rights and their role in the economy gain greater attention, it is worth returning to these words, keeping rights, agency, participation and voice at the centre of how we shape economic and social policies.

Four decades on, this is the work that remains: ensuring women are not only included in development, but have the rights, agency and voice to shape it.

A fraction of the income doesn't mean a fraction of the labor. Wide earnings gaps persist largely because social infrastructure relies on women's unpaid care work to function.

True pay equity means recognizing, redistributing, and remunerating all forms of work.👩🏻‍💼✨

ISST, in collaboration with Breakthrough, conducted a workshop at Breakthrough Reframe 2026 titled “Measuring Women’s Work: Evidence and Social Expectations.”

The workshop explored the role of social norms in shaping how women’s work is recognised, reported and measured. Discussions covered the evolution of measuring women’s work through government surveys, differences between the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) and Time-Use Surveys (TUS), and the resulting policy implications.

The workshop also examined how social norms influence the reporting and valuation of women’s work, reinforce the gendered division of labour, and shape the distribution and experience of work across intersecting identities.

Beyond textbooks, mentorship is about creating a safe space. We asked our educators at Saathi Centre about what students share easily, where they hesitate, and how gender shapes the way they seek help.

Watch till the end. ✨
