Beschreibung:
This chapter argues that there are significant effects of extreme climate events on the care sector of the economy, particularly in terms of additional demand for unpaid care labour, that need to be taken into account in impact appraisals and in the design of effective, gender-aware response systems. It provides a framework for examining the impact of climate change-related events such as natural disasters on the unpaid work burden and introduces a methodology for assessing their effects on care provisioning. The chapter also provides an analytical framework for examining the extent to which the unpaid work of family members could be stretched as a result of the health consequences of natural disasters. It illustrates the method of accounting for care needs in the aftermath of a natural disaster by means of projections. The chapter examines the time use of women and men in the Visayas Region.
