The article advocates for including unpaid work, predominantly by women, in GDP calculations, highlighting its significant economic value. It discusses the Karnataka High Court's landmark decision to recognize 'homemaker' as a gender-neutral role with work rights, underscoring the long-overdue societal validation.

The editorial stresses that achieving gender equality, which could significantly boost GDP, is a matter of collective will, not just a dream.
