from Voices of Care · host Global Alliance for Care

This initiative is meant to raise awareness of the centrality of this labor and promote investment in care policies that recognize, reduce and redistribute care work.But what exactly do these terms mean, and how should they translate into policies? To help us explore these questions, we chat with Susan Himmelweit, Emeritus Professor of Economics at the Open University.Hosted by Yara Tarabulsi, Outreach and Advocacy Officer, Global Alliance for CareEn 2023, la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas estableció el 29 de octubre como Día Internacional de los Cuidados y el Apoyo.
