Cooperatives meeting informal economy workers' child care needs - A Joint ILO and WIEGO Initiative
25 April 2018

This report complements the ILO's previous studies with cases from Brazil, India, and Guatemala on how informal economy workers’ organizations can mobilize through cooperatives to provide child care services to their members.
