Abstract Accounting the informal sector and the household work by the unpaid workers are a major issues in front of the academic community. Women constitute almost half of the population and so their participation in social, political, household and economic activities is necessary for the development of mankind. The equality of women with men would remain a myth till the women become self-reliant. Present study tries to explain the reasons for the invisibility of women in a household production framework. Moreover, the study tries to highlight an important methodology to account the informal work on the basis of time. The study is based on primary data collected from 120 households from Olavanna grama panchayath, Nadapuram Grama Panchyathas and Kozhikode municipality of Kozhikode, northern district of Kerala, a southern state of India. With the assumption of homogeneity in male, female division of work, study took random method for sample selection from each Strata. Olavanna grama panchyath and Kozhikode Corporation basically more urbanized places compared to Nadapuram. The analysis unveils an important matter that domestic work burden is the main hindrance of female invisibility. Those women who are economically politically and socially visible also face the problem of domestic work burden due to the gendered division of work.
