According to the report ‘Care Work and Care Jobs for the Future of Decent Work’ by the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the value of unpaid care and domestic work is $11 trillion, or 9% of the global gross domestic product (GDP). The data, covering 64 countries in the world, including Italy, show that 16.4 billion hours are devoted to unpaid care work every day, 76.2% of which is performed by women. Thus, the daily unpaid care work of women worldwide concerns 1.5 billion women, who work eight hours a day unpaid. Italy is among the countries with the highest number of unpaid hours and the lowest public spending on certain care policies as a percentage of GDP and employment/population ratio of women with care responsibilities. Caring is the basis of ‘social reproduction’, i.e. all those activities that are vital for the very survival of society. A real connective tissue built on the (undeclared) care work of women. A phenomenon that also affects women journalists, caught between family life and work. The journalistic narrative must be free of sexist stereotypes and discrimination: but how is it possible to correctly apply the Consolidated Text of the Duties of Journalists if the work life balance is always to the detriment of women journalists from the daily editorial work?
