Emeritus Prof Christopher May's Post

An important reminder from the Women's Budget Group:

Unpaid care work is the invisible backbone of our economy. Yet it’s often overlooked in economic discussions. Globally, it is equivalent to trillions of pounds, supporting paid work and public services alike.

Women disproportionately shoulder this responsibility, doing 50% more unpaid work than men.

It's time we value and recognise the economic contribution of unpaid care work.
