THE International Labour Organization (ILO) is to launch its new report, Care work and care jobs for the future of work today.
According to the ILO, it provides an estimate of the necessary investment needed to avoid a looming global care crisis, as well as new figures on the number of people in need of care, including children and older persons.
It also looks at the number of jobs that could be created.
The report also includes policy recommendations, as well as a wide range of global and regional statistics and analyses, including on ‘unpaid care work’ and ‘the gender imbalance in care work’.
