The presented article focuses on the work, namely on the unpaid work in the household. The unpaid work in this form represents relatively new topic. A work as a fundamental inseparable and for many people also the self-evident part of their lives stands for multidimensional phenomenon and therefore it has been a subject of interest of several scientific disciplines. Under influence of globalization especially of modernisation the work changes all the time and it is necessary to catch and interpret its newest processes of change, its new shapes, presuppositions and sequelae. The interdisciplinary approach is applied where there also the sociology has its place. The contribution offers a cross-sectional view on the research of the unpaid work in Slovak Republic. It presents the most important results concerning the volume and structure of unpaid work and its predetermined share on GNP and at the same time it offers suggestive international comparison of this phenomenon. Except of the economic dimensions the authors identify also the crucial non-economic determinants of the unpaid work occurrence in the Slovak households in the form of motives and attitudes of family members. The force and social value of this motives and attitudes influence other factors of the occurrence and duration of the unpaid work.
