This project investigates the invisible burden of women’s unpaid labor, the second shift, where working women shoulder disproportionate household responsibilities that remain economically unrecognized. It culminates in The Lost Ledger, a digital intervention that visualizes women’s unpaid work and transforms their collective experiences into data-driven testimony and advocacy. By combining design, economics, and storytelling, the project reframes care work as measurable, valuable, and central to societal well-being.
