ILO Report: Care work and care jobs for the future of decent work

This report, published by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in June 2018, takes a comprehensive look at unpaid and paid care work and its relationship with the changing world of work. A key focus is the persistent gender inequalities in households and the labour market, which are inextricably linked with care work. It states that, if not adequately addressed, current deficits in care service provision and its quality will create a severe and unsustainable global care crisis and increase gender inequalities at work.
