description The objective of this study is to show the results and importance of the Costa Rican Unpaid Work economic value for the country’s economy. The calculation is based on the National Survey of Time Use (ENUT) and the National Household Survey (ENAHO), both from 2017; subsequently, it is compared with the value of the Gross Domestic Product of that year. Unpaid work includes the production of goods and services for self-consumption in households, domestic work, and voluntary work. For the assessment, the Input Method was used in its hybrid variant, which consists of comparing the different tasks of unpaid work investigated in ENUT 2017, with similar occupations in the market (including domestic service), taken from Costa Rica’s 2011 Classification of Occupations manual. Subsequently, the gross hourly wage for each occupation was calculated using the 2017 National Household Survey. A methodological exercise and an estimate were made for the whole country, based on the 2011 Survey of Time Use for the Greater Metropolitan Area, and the 2004 Time Use Module. Based on the 2017 national survey, the methodology was adjusted, and it was estimated that unpaid work is equivalent to 34,21% of the Gross Domestic Product, where domestic work is equivalent to 31,07%, and that women’s contribution accounts for three quarters of this value.

El cálculo se realiza a partir de la Encuesta Nacional de Uso del Tiempo (ENUT) y la Encuesta Nacional de Hogares (ENAHO), ambas del 2017; posteriormente, se compara con el valor del Producto Interno Bruto de ese año. El trabajo no remunerado incluye: la producción de bienes y servicios para el autoconsumo de los hogares, el trabajo doméstico y el voluntario. Para la valoración se utilizó el método input en su variante híbrida, que consiste en homologar las diferentes labores del trabajo no remunerado investigadas en la ENUT 2017, con ocupaciones similares en el mercado (incluyendo servicio doméstico), a partir de la clasificación de ocupaciones para Costa Rica del 2011. Posteriormente, se calculó en la Encuesta Nacional de Hogares del 2017, el salario bruto por hora para cada ocupación. Se realizó un ejercicio metodológico y una estimación para todo el país, con base en la Encuesta de Uso del Tiempo para la Gran Área Metropolitana del 2011 y del Módulo de Uso del Tiempo del 2004. Con la Encuesta Nacional del 2017 se ajustó la metodología y se estimó que el trabajo no remunerado equivale a un 34.21 % del Producto Interno Bruto, en donde el trabajo doméstico equivale al 31.07 % y que las mujeres son las que aportan las tres cuartas partes de este valor.Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica2022-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/epub+zipaudio/mpegaudio/mpeghttps://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/abra/article/view/1808310.15359/abra.42-65.3Revista ABRA; Vol. 42 No. 65 (2022): REVISTA ABRA ; 44-62Revista ABRA; Vol. 42 Núm. 65 (2022): REVISTA ABRA ; 44-62Revista ABRA; v. 42 n. 65 (2022): REVISTA ABRA ; 44-622215-29971409-3928reponame:Portal de Revistas UNAinstname:Universidad Nacional de Costa Ricainstacron:UNAspaenghttps://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/abra/article/view/18083/27470https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/abra/article/view/18083/27471https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/abra/article/view/18083/27472https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/abra/article/view/18083/27473https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/abra/article/view/18083/27474Derechos de autor 2022 Irma Sandoval Carvajalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2025-08-19T16:58:55Zoai:www.revistas.una.ac.cr:article/18083Portal de revistashttp://revistas.una.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.una.ac.crhttps://revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaiandrea.mora.campos@una.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-08-19T16:58:55Portal de Revistas UNA - Universidad Nacional de Costa Ricafalse
