However, debates about the "future of work" have yet to address unpaid work. In this article, we present first estimates of the impacts of "smart" and "AI" technologies on unpaid work. We ask what the likelihood is of various types of unpaid work being automated, and how this would change the time spent on domestic work and on the gendered division of labour. To achieve this, we adapt three established automation likelihood estimates for paid work occupations to estimate the automation likelihood of 19 unpaid work tasks. Applying these estimates to Japanese and UK national time use data, we find that 50-60% of the total time spent on unpaid work could be saved through automation. The savings are unevenly distributed: a woman aged 20-59 in Japan could save over 1,000 hours per year, whereas men in the UK could save 600 hours and men in Japan only 250 hours. Domestic automation could free up to 9.3% of women in Japan and 5.8% of women in the UK to take up full-or part-time employment, pointing to substantial potential economic and social gains from domestic automation.

This region of the oncoprotein was chosen as a probable epitope basing on the analysis of its secondary structure and hydrophilicity profile. The synthesis was carried out by classical method in solution using side-protecting groups of the benzyl type. Conjugates of the peptides with protein carriers and polyclonal antibodies to the peptides were obtained. Antiserum against the 201-210 peptide conjugate is shown to be specific to p28sis oncoprotein and its p56sis dimer.
Low Fertility and Reproductive Health in East Asia, 2014

The results suggest that the two variables in question have a negative association in these economies, and that the calculated elasticity is −1.01, implying that a decrease in the total fertility rate (TFR) leads essentially to no change in the total cost of childrearing per adult. More importantly, as regards the per capita child human-capital cost and the TFR, the calculated elasticity amounts to −1.64, suggesting that in the three economies the health and education components of per capita child cost are more closely linked to fertility change than other components. Unlike previous studies, this one examines the role of the economic support ratio in its analysis of the cost of raising children and the number of children parents have. It also addresses the trade-off between the relative costs of children and elderly persons from the standpoint of generational equity. Economists often hypothesize that population aging induced by reduced fertility and extended longevity should lead to a decline in the welfare of children relative to the elderly. This study, however, does not find such a “crowding out” effect between children and the elderly in the three East Asian economies.
