International Women’s Day 2022: Investing in care for all

by International Labor Organization created 2022-03-04T15:07:23+07:00
The ILO celebrates this year’s International Women’s Day by advocating for large-scale investments in a package of transformative care leave and services that benefit workers, children, families, businesses, societies and the planet.

The on-line global high-level event will mark the global launch of the new ground-breaking ILO report “Care at work: Investing in care leave and services for a more gender equal world of work”. It will set the ILO and its constituents’ agenda on investing in care policies as part of the global call for investing in the care economy. It will highlight the relevance of care policies also in the context of climate change, infrastructure and sustainable care and green jobs.

The event will feature key tripartite leaders of the world of work and high-level representatives of the ILO and the UN System. It will provide an opportunity to discuss the findings of the report and propose concrete ways forward in realizing the right to care and gender equality at work for all as part of “our common agenda” for sustainable development.
