### Women's Labor Statistics, World Bank, Unpaid Work Debate

- **Published:** 2014-03-20

The statistic that "women do 66% of the world's work but earn 10% of the income" is traced back to a 1986 World Bank speech by Barbara Conable. The hosts argue that these figures often conflate "work" with normal social and domestic activities like child-rearing and housekeeping. They criticize the "slave culture" mentality of quantifying every human interaction as unpaid labor.

The Legends Football League, formerly the Lingerie Football League, features women playing full-contact football without pay or health insurance. A Nightline report on the league was criticized for being a "puff piece" that ignored the exploitative nature of the business model. The discussion warns against working for free in exchange for "exposure," a common practice in the entertainment and tech industries.

The United Kingdom has introduced a "work experience" program requiring jobless youth to work 30 hours a week at supermarkets without pay to maintain their benefits. The hosts characterize this as a "slavery program" that forces the unemployed into unpaid labor for private corporations. Failure to participate results in the loss of government assistance.
