520			_a This paper examines the shifting narratives of unpaid care work (UCW) in India, especially among women. Indian society is still gripped by the patriarchal framework, a deeply entrenched system that significantly influences power dynamics within residential premises or outside. This paper utilizes the data from various rounds of the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) between the period of 2019-20 to 2021-22 and India Employment Report 2024: Youth employment, education and skills. Results from empirical analysis indicate that in India, females have a higher participation level in domestic work irrespective of their employment status or rural-urban divide. Unpaid care work socio-culturally linked to women’s identity limits their value as productive individuals. The study emphasizes the urgent need for institutional recognition and the social acknowledgement of their valuable contribution to reducing deep-rooted gender-based inequalities in different spheres- Reproduced
