Transforming Care Dynamics: Lessons from Programme and Policy

Abstract

The paper and its supporting appendix present evidence to support the four recommendations for transforming care presented in the position statement 'Addressing Unpaid Care for Economic Empowerment of Women and Girls'. These recommendations are the need for accessible public services, the need to invest in time and labour saving equipment and infrastructure services, the need to invest in initiatives to shift perceptions, norms, and gender roles, and the provision of decent work for men and women. The examples in the paper provide evidence of how the recommendations outlined are working at different scales and in different contexts.
