This project aims to investigate the mental load; a structure of household work that combines cognitive and emotional labour. While there are theoretical understandings of the mental load, there is a dearth of quantitative research. This project expects to develop a consistent and reliable measure of the mental load and an understanding of its impacts on Australian families. The expected outcomes of the project include a comprehensive measurement of the mental load both in Australia and abroad. This will allow for the development of policy alleviating its impacts on caregivers, particularly mothers, and assist workplaces and Government in incorporating women into employment to reduce gender inequality.

该项目旨在调查心理负荷;结合认知和情感劳动的家务劳动结构。虽然对心理负荷有理论上的理解，但缺乏定量研究。该项目预期将制定一项关于精神负荷的一致和可靠的措施，并了解其对澳大利亚家庭的影响。该项目的预期成果包括全面衡量澳大利亚和国外的精神负荷。这将有助于制定政策，减轻其对照顾者，特别是母亲的影响，并协助工作场所和政府让妇女就业，以减少两性不平等。
