The Care Economy plays a pivotal role in the national economy by encompassing both paid and unpaid work that is essential for sustaining human life and social well-being. This includes activities related to childcare, eldercare, healthcare, domestic work, and community support, which are predominantly performed by women. While much of this labor has traditionally been undervalued or invisible in conventional economic measurements, its contribution to productivity, social cohesion, and long-term economic growth is substantial. Recognizing and integrating the Care Economy into national planning is crucial for promoting gender equality, labor force participation, and inclusive development. Unpaid care work forms the largest component of the Care Economy, often carried out within households. Women disproportionately bear this responsibility, spending several hours daily on tasks such as feeding, cleaning, and attending to family health. Despite its essential nature, unpaid care work is generally excluded from GDP calculations, leading to a systemic undervaluation of women’s labor. Economists argue that when unpaid care work is monetized and accounted for, it represents a significant percentage of national income, highlighting its importance in sustaining the formal economy.
