CareRechner: Calculate the Value of Your Unpaid Care Work
CareRechner is a free utility tool available on iPhone that allows you to calculate the value of your unpaid care work. Developed by Dekkode GmbH, this app aims to shed light on the unequal distribution of paid and unpaid work between men and women, particularly mothers.
With CareRechner, you can easily determine the value of your overtime by following two simple steps. First, input the duration of your partnership and the number of children in your household. Then, set the hourly rate for your care work. The app will calculate the worth of your unpaid labor.
Surprised and shocked by the value of your overtime? Share the results on Instagram and join the movement to raise awareness about the gender care gap. Don't forget to tag Let's close the gap through visibility! Share the results with your family, friends, and most importantly, have a conversation with your partner.
