Care policies: Realizing their transformative potential

Framing public care services, basic infrastructure and social protection policies under the umbrella of care policies is a game changer. It promotes gender equality, allows for policy complementarity and coordination, improves the situation of care workers and has visible positive macroeconomic impacts. Transformative care policies emerge if a human rights–based approach to care policies is adopted, when broad political alliances are formed, and when evidence is used in an innovative way to inform policy design and monitoring.
