What is the difference between economic activities and non-economic activities?

The activities that add value to the national income are called economic activities. They can be divided into two types: market activities and non-market activities. Market activities involve the activities performed for pay or profit, and non-market activities include the production done for self-consumption.

The activities that add no value to the national income are called non-economic activities. Domestic chore is an example of non-economic activities.
