The ONS produce regular estimates of unpaid household labour. This data is currently
up to date until 2016, when the total value of unpaid household service work was £1.24
trillion, equivalent to 63.1% of gross domestic product. Estimates for 2017 to 2021
are due to be released in Q4 2022.<p> </p><p>The Government has provided the Office
for National Statistics (ONS) with an additional £25 million to help implement the
recommendations of Sir Charles Bean’s 2016 Review of Economics Statistics, including
through an initiative called ‘Beyond GDP’ that aims to address the limitations in
GDP by developing broader measures of welfare and activity. Part of this work is looking
to improve estimates of unpaid household work, and integrate them into extended measures
of GDP such as Net Inclusive Income.</p><p> </p>
