Combining quantitative and qualitative evidence, the chapter endeavors to solve this problem. Third, it claims that multiple employment—that people performed many types of work at the same time—was widespread, that much work was unpaid, and that contrary to previous assumptions, both women’s and men’s work was intermittent, casual, and nonspecific. Apart from military tasks, women and men appeared in all categories of work.
