Brief Explanations

GDP (Gross Domestic Product) measures the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period. Non - market activities, such as household chores (like raising children, cleaning, cooking etc. done by a stay - at - home parent) are not included in GDP calculation because they do not involve a market transaction (no money is exchanged for these services in a formal market sense). Leisure (if it's just free time with no productive non - market activity) is also not counted, but in this case, Boris is engaged in productive non - market activities (raising children and household work). Environmental degradation is a different limitation (related to negative externalities not accounted in GDP) and "prices are not values" is a more philosophical statement not relevant to why Boris' work is excluded.

Answer:

It doesn't count nonmarket activities.
