the claim

GDP includes unpaid household work.

the verdict
REFUTED
the evidence says no
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 7 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that GDP includes unpaid household work?

No. Multiple reference and textbook sources state that GDP counts only market activity and excludes unpaid household work, which falls outside the production boundary; some note household production is estimated separately and added on top of GDP.
