The new International Labour Organization report on care work and care workers is a real milestone.
It consolidates and compares data of time devoted to care time for all countries (about 80!) for which time-use survey data are available.
It includes discussion of wages, working conditions and future shortages in paid care employment. It outlines an ambitious policy agenda, insisting that a “high road to care work” is within our reach.
