 2006 Mothers Day Campaign:
Mothers at Work
All the work mothers do - whether paid or unpaid - has social and economic value
Imagine a world where caring for family really is seen as having social and economic value. That's what we hope to create together, changing how people think about "work" to include taking care of family as real work with social and economic value.

POWER Plan
To redefine the meaning of "work" such that the work of caring for others is
regarded as equal in value to paid work, is accepted as work that is vital to
our economy and our society, and is treated as such in both the public and
private sectors, we will:
- Educate mothers about, raise public awareness about, and monitor the progress of the work of our federal government’s American Time Use Survey, which will capture data on how Americans spend their time, including time spent on unpaid caregiving work.
- Advocate that unpaid caregiving work is equal in value to paid work whenever it is implied otherwise.
- Act to create a plan for using and publicizing the Time Use Survey data and encouraging policy makers to make effective use of the data.
