Description
Calculate union care time after subtracting simultaneous-task overlap once.
Gender-related research records preserve self-described wording, source context, grammatical forms and observation bases. Identity and preferences cannot be inferred from a label or grammatical slot. A pay-per-hour figure or care-time union is a local summary, not a legal or causal assessment of inequality.
Calculate union care time after subtracting simultaneous-task overlap once.
When to use this tool
Use Care Diary Simultaneous Task Share when checking the stated self-described record, source, pay or care-time convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter primaryCareMinutes, secondaryCareMinutes, overlapMinutes, observedMinutes. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read unionCareMinutes, unionShare. Use the output convention below.
Require observedMinutes>0, nonnegative primary/secondary care and overlap within both, with their union<=observed. Return primary+secondary-overlap and that union/observed.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| primaryCareMinutes | Primary Care Minutes | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| secondaryCareMinutes | Secondary Care Minutes | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| overlapMinutes | Overlap Minutes | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| observedMinutes | Observed Minutes | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| unionCareMinutes | Primary+secondary-overlap, counting simultaneous minutes once. | Required. Finite number. |
| unionShare | Union Share | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Overlap is supplied rather than detected; the share does not classify gender, measure burden or establish paid-work or care entitlements.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Preserve participants’ own wording and verified source definitions; use suitable complete social/statistical analysis and appropriate permission/legal review for actual interpretation or disclosure.
