ILO calls for action on India's care economy
Original: From recognition to action: Strengthening India’s care economy
The International Labour Organization is calling for India to move from recognising its care economy to actively strengthening it. The focus is on care work — childcare, eldercare and domestic labour — which remains largely invisible and undervalued despite underpinning workforce participation, especially for women. The organisation argues that investing in care services and decent working conditions for care workers would boost both economic growth and gender equality in India.
Why now: The ILO has published a new report urging concrete policy action on India's undervalued care sector.
