dc.description.abstractAs elsewhere, women in China are primarily responsible for care work, keeping family members nourished and healthy, and taking care of children, the elderly, and the sick. Using data from ten national representative surveys as well as Chinese and English literature, the study reports on impacts of unpaid care work; how this interacts with labour force participation, time use by gender, and well-being; and policies on retirement, pension, and maternity leave. Care needs and gender equality must be integrated into the broad development agenda; they are not just ‘women’s issues.’ This brief presents findings, and identifies policy lessons.en
