October 2023 – The International Labour Organization published a brief that outlines the multiple benefits of public investment in the care economy. It offers statistics that show that the return on investment is high for economies and societies.
The brief concludes by providing recommendations for putting the findings into action and making investing in transformative care policies a reality. This resource is meant to be used by governments, employers and workers and their representative organizations, the private sector, civil society, UN agencies, and other relevant stakeholders, such as academia and philanthropy.
