Cognitive labor
Unseen mental work mostly by women
Cognitive labor is sociological and feminist concept referring to the invisible mental work many women do in relationships and families.[1] It is related to invisible labor, emotional labor, and unpaid work[2] while emphasizing the cost of planning, organizing, scheduling, managing and worrying, in addition to "executing."[3][4] The distribution of cognitive labor falls disproportionately on women.[5] Handling the majority of cognitive labor is a burden that prevents women from pursuing opportunities or achieving greater health and happiness.[6] A recommendation for balancing cognitive labor is making it more explicit and visible.[7]
