CONT

La charge mentale est un «travail de gestion, d'organisation et de planification qui est à la fois intangible, incontournable et constant, et qui a pour objectif la satisfaction des besoins de chacun et la bonne marche de la résidence» [...] Il s'agit davantage de la charge cognitive associée à la gestion propre des tâches domestiques que de la réalisation de ces tâches.
