Caring for the Future: Redefining development through care politics
This document analyzes how Chile, Morocco, the Philippines and Spain are advancing in the design and implementation of public care policies, highlighting their progress, challenges and lessons learned. The report demonstrates that investing in care systems can create jobs, reduce inequalities and strengthen social protection.
This document, prepared by the Ministry of Social Development and Family of Chile, the ILO and UN Women, on the occasion of the Second World Summit for Social Development in Doha, addresses the centrality of care work.
It is grounded in the conviction that the current care crisis is also an opportunity to rethink development models and their links with the economy, institutions and communities.
Strengthening robust social protection systems and care policies will be key to advancing towards a more inclusive, fair and sustainable model of development.
