Counting women's work in the agricultural census of Nepal: a report.
Like many national statistical surveys, the Agricultural Census of Nepal does not reflect the actual contribution of women's work in agriculture.  Inadequacies in conceptualization, definition of terms and data gathering methods result in undervaluation and underrepresentation of women's work.  This study of 124 Newar households in the Lubhu Village Development Committee, Kathmandu Valley, provides a statistical representation of women's roles in agricultural operations and household activities by assessing the actual extent of their work.  After analyzing the gender division of labor, the study concludes that women's work in agriculture and household activities is significantly higher than men's work.
