Cognitive labor
.jpg)
Cognitive labor or the third shift[1] is sociological and feminist concept referring to the invisible mental work many women do in relationships and families.[2] It is related to invisible labor, emotional labor, and unpaid work[3] while emphasizing the cost of planning, organizing, scheduling, managing and worrying, in addition to "executing."[4][5] The distribution of cognitive labor falls disproportionately on women.[6] Handling the majority of cognitive labor is a burden that prevents women from pursuing opportunities or achieving greater health and happiness.[7] A recommendation for balancing cognitive labor is making it more explicit and visible.[8]
