ILO Advances Decent Work Agenda in Care Economy

The ILO has advanced its Decent Work agenda within the care economy through a high-level discussion on implementing its Care Economy Resolution. Originally adopted at the International Labour Conference in June, this resolution defines the care economy and outlines principles to improve working conditions in this sector. The framework addresses enduring care sector challenges, worsened by COVID-19, advocating for sustainable and quality care services that boost crisis resilience, economic stability, and gender equality while reinforcing the ILO’s global leadership in the care economy.
