EmailIt is a known fact that the Economic gender gap is directly linked to the Care Gap. We argue that a paradigm shift and profound structural changes are needed if we are to accelerate change.
In order to progress on Gender Equality and social sustainability, we must consider two concrete avenues: re-invent our economy to a wellbeing model centred on ‘Care’ in its broadest meaning. And recognize Care as a Human Right.
Can we really afford to wait 268 years to close the economic gender gap?
