What it proves
Unpaid care is a structural time constraint on women's labour-force participation.
What it does not prove: The 117.4m headcount counts anyone doing any amount of unpaid care or domestic work, so it measures participation, not intensity — and roughly half of it is men, which makes it a poor standalone proof of unequal burden. The inequality shows up in hours, not heads, so this figure needs a time-use companion to carry the argument.
Memory hook: 117.4m in unpaid care → 66.7m of them women, on no payroll
Rebuts the claim: "Most Pakistani women are economically inactive" — 66.7m women are already working, unpaid, inside the household, which is why measured participation stays low.
