Decent Work and the Care Economy: recognizing, rewarding and redistributing Care Work

Within the remit of the ILO Women at Work Centenary Initiative, undertake and deliver an innovative, substantive project on Decent Work and the Care Economy that will serve to inform and guide constituents and partners in different national, regional and international contexts, and launch an advocacy campaign to specifically promote decent work and the care economy, culminating at the 108th Session (2019) of the International Labour Conference celebrations of 100 years of the ILO. The project will ensure that the important opportunity of the Women at Work Centenary Initiative to highlight the ILO’s commitment to women’s empowerment and gender equality is maximized to its fullest potential by focusing on employment for women and men in the care economy, as well the impact of the equitable provision of care on women’s ability to access and remain in the labour force.
