Global Future Council on the Future of Care Economy
Description
The Care Economy is fundamental to human activity, affecting over 8 billion people. As demand for Care grows in the context of large-scale transformations, the Care Economy represents an untapped source of opportunities for job creation, income generation, social mobility, and equitable growth. With many care systems under strain, a collective push between Government and Business is key to make Care an economic priority.
The GFC on the Future of the Care Economy is a frontier council making the Case for Care: What are the pathways, investments, and partnerships that are needed for well-functioning Care Economies?
