Consolidated report: A guide to public investments in the care economy: Estimating care deficits, investment costs and economic returns

In Consolidated report: A guide to public investments in the care economy: Estimating care deficits, investment costs and economic returns, the authors present the key findings and lessons learned from applying the UN Women–International Labour Organization (ILO) policy tool, “A guide to public investments in the care economy: Policy support tool for estimating care deficits, investment costs, and economic returns,” in Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Morocco, and Nepal. The successful application of the tool in five different contexts demonstrates its adaptability and underscores the importance of developing global policy tools and guidance to extend UN Women’s work beyond the geographical boundaries of its implemented programs.

UN Women and the International Labour Organization are both policy partners with the Care Economies in Context project.
