Do you think that menial work, i.e. the performance of household tasks, is a type of unproductive labour?
I often feel like menial work is pointless. after-all; what do we really achieve cleaning?
Not really, somebody has to do it!
No.
And why?
It’s important work, unless you like living in crap.
Ditto.
I think it is unproductive but necessary or else we would live in filthy places
Couldn’t we say that it’s productive since the removal of filth is something we value?
Yes.
In a sense yes. It is productive to the extent to which we value cleanliness
