Overview:
Employment and local economic development initiatives can be more effective if they consider and address the unpaid work responsibilities of community members. Measures that support workers with their unpaid work responsibilities are important for facilitating men’s and women’s participation and productivity in paid employment and can enhance women’s opportunities in particular. Such measures include supports for child-care and elder-care, workplace policies on working time, schedules and leave, family transfers, basic infrastructure, social services and transportation improvements.
