| dc.description | <p>Investments which support households to better meet their unpaid care responsibilities - such as childcare, food preparation and laundry - can yield substantial returns in terms of macro-economic growth, job creation and other key government priorities. This briefing looks at selected evidence and examples and argues that governments should:</p> <ul> <li>include commitments to support households' unpaid care work in relevant policies and programmes, and collect data on unpaid care to support policy making;</li> <li>increase households' access to care-supporting infrastructure and services;</li> <li>encourage men and boys to share care work; and</li> <li>step up efforts to give women a real voice in policy making, and a real opportunity to speak out about unpaid care.</li> </ul> | en_US |
