"Jobs Without a reward! "The development of any country depends on the producers. There is diversity calculations made to obtain net income of the host country. Gross domestic product-GDP-is hectas measured by paid labor force. In the community there is a group of workers who work a lot with their contribution is limited in GDP. Because their jobs treasury official wages. This group, which often keep national labor used in producing, given the name of "economy of care and unpaid work", ie in translation (not official) "Home Based Care Economy". Workers who are in this group are women and girls and often they do work includes; cooking, washing, cleaning the house, looking for water and firewood, plowing the family farm caring for children and the sick, etc. The status of the gross domestic product of the economy has kept attention in manufacturing and mining. Policies of the country continued to be invested in these two important areas. Examples hectas of some of the national policies hectas zinazowekea emphasis in this; mentioned by at least include energy policy; Health; Water; Infrastructure; Education; and also the budget of the country. Energy policy hectas does not set a clear timetable strategies for easing public access to affordable and renewable energy for home use, and because women are the biggest hectas energy seekers spend more time in search of wood energy especially in rural areas.

Women and girls are the ones who search for water for domestic use; in rural areas, women walk over 20 kilometers a day to fetch water. The situation is the same in the same agriculture, women are the biggest producers of food retailing home and rest for a few cents gain. In education also girls do not go to school hectas because of overwhelmed by the burden of household chores and farm produce. Provided that in each sector women are not better! In a recent survey conducted by activist organizations that show women spend more time in unpaid labor than men (Statistics show the ratio of 24% - 6%). And the employment of unpaid men spend more time than women (ratio exists 39% -24%). Activists defense of equality in society have done analyzes various policies, the country's hectas budget, and provide publications and training courses in order to disseminate the concept of "labor without wages"-although those jobs are important-for the majority of people in rural areas who who are affected by this system and to convene hectas a national debate on completely eliminate this situation hectas and balance of these jobs or to give its status in GDP contribution. Activists still ask; What are the strategies would be used to improve this situation, including budget and strengthen the struggle of women in Tanzania? hectas
