Workplace solutions for childcare
The book provides an overview of diverse workplace initiatives that combine the resources and capabilities of different public and private sector actors, drawing from the experience of ten industrialized and developing countries.
Workplace partnerships are effective for working parents considering childcare solutions. The focus of this book is on why workplace partners around the world have become involved in childcare and about the nature of programmes that have been implemented. Partnership is a key theme, and the authors highlight the fruitfulness of collaborations that combine the resources and capabilities of different actors. Ten countries, industrialized and developing, are examined through a national overview on policies and facilities for childcare and the implications for working parents, followed by case studies of specific workplaces.
