Care work is the backbone of society, yet much of it remains unpaid, informal and invisible.AVPN’s “Care Economy in the Global South: Investment Opportunities and Pathways” report reveals that: 📌 Women spend 2-10x more time on unpaid care work than men 📌 On average, women dedicate 4.5 hours daily to domestic and caregiving activities Investing in care is not just a social imperative—it’s a strategic economic opportunity. Collaborative action among investors, funders and policymakers is essential to drive meaningful change. By directing resources into care infrastructure, workplace policies and care-focused enterprises, we can foster gender equality, economic resilience and sustainable development.
