Abstract
Este libro presenta una colección de trabajos sobre aspectos conceptuales, metodológicos y empíricos de la medición y valoración del tiempo dedicado por los miembros del hogar a actividades productivas no de mercado, que son invisibles desde el punto de vista de la contabilidad nacional de los países, regida por el Sistema de Cuentas Nacionales de 1993 (SCN 1993). La mayoría de estos trabajos fueron preparados por la Organización Panamericana de la Salud, en colaboración con la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe y el Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas de España, entre 2001 y 2006. Asimismo, son parte de las actividades para el desarrollo de indicadores económicos y sociales que hagan visibles las contribuciones del trabajo no remunerado de las mujeres al desarrollo económico y social de los países, incluidas en la Plataforma de Acción que siguió a las recomendaciones de la Conferencia de Beijing de 1995 sobre la Mujer y el Desarrollo. Recientemente, los gobiernos de la región reafirmaron la necesidad de visibilizar y contabilizar dichas actividades durante la Décima Conferencia regional sobre la Mujer de América y el Caribe llevada a cabo en Quito en agosto de 2007.
 
The chapters in this volume present conceptual, methodological, and empirical aspects related to the measurement and valuation of the time spent by members of the household on nonmarket productive activities, which are invisible in national accounts systems governed by the System of National Accounts of 1993 (SNA, 1993). Most of the chapters were prepared by the Pan American Health Organization in collaboration with the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean and the Spanish National Research Council between 2001 and 2006. Some of the material herein focuses on activities included in the Platform for Action that grew out the recommendations of the Fourth World Conference on Women —held in Beijing in 1995— to develop economic and social indicators that will lend visibility to the contribution of women’s unpaid work to the countries’ development. More recently, at the 10th Regional Conference on Women in Latin America and the Caribbean —held in Quito in August 2007— the governments of the Region reaffirmed the need to make unpaid health care activities visible and assign a value to them.
