What work is constantly absent from the data base for determining public resource allocations and investments? What occupies those whose work is unpaid? Is this work visible in occupational science research? This essay addresses links between feminist economics and unpaid work, and occupation science and over occupation, through a human rights lens. It proposes opportunities for political economists and occupational scientists to work together on these issues.This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in the Journal of Occupational Science on 13 Oct 2016, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/14427591.2016.1235509 .Occupation and human rights; Over-occupation; Family carersJournal ArticleOpenAccess10.1080/14427591.2016.1235509
