Zimbos spend more time on unpaid work: ZimStat

THE majority of Zimbabweans are spending more time doing unpaid work, with the ZimStat 2025 Time Use Report released yesterday highlighting the central role played by these duties in daily lives.

According to the report, the first of its kind in Zimbabwe, both women and men spend the largest portion of their day on necessary activities such as sleeping, eating and personal care.

However, women devote significantly more time to committed work activities, including unpaid domestic and caregiving responsibilities, while men allocate more time to contracted work, such as employment, own-use production of goods and learning, as well as to free time.
