Chopra, DeeptaNazneen, Sohela2016-07-182016-07-1820162016-06http://hdl.handle.net/10625/55634This broad based consultation is part of work undertaken by the Growth and Economic Opportunities for Women GrOW to inform its engagement with and provide evidence to the UN High Level Panel on Women’s Economic Empowerment.With more women engaged in the labour force, and men not participating in care work, adolescents and elder women are often required to carry out the majority of care work tasks, which impedes their time and infringes their human rights, restricting generational sustainability of economic empowerment initiatives. In a vicious circle, the same inputs of training and education have to be provided again to the next generation of women – the girls who had to drop out of initiatives to provide care services. Summaries of 50 case studies are presented, as well as a position paper on main issues and recommendations, and a summary paper regarding women’s economic empowerment.Text1 digital file (121 p.)Application/pdfenSynthesis Report
