Model Answer

Women's work remains invisible and undervalued because the bulk of their work is household-related — cooking, cleaning, childcare — which is unpaid. Since it does not generate income, it goes unrecognised. In contrast, most of men's work is income-generating and hence visible. According to the Time Use Survey, women work 7.5 hours daily versus men's 6.5 hours, yet women's domestic labour remains unacknowledged.

Explanation

Examiners look for two key points: (1) women's work is mostly domestic/unpaid, and (2) unpaid work does not get counted or recognised because it generates no income. Quoting the Time Use Survey data strengthens the answer. Avoid writing about political representation or literacy — stay focused on the specific question about visibility and value of work.
