UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. Placing women’s rights at the center of all its efforts, UN Women leads and coordinates United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It provides strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States’ priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors.

Care work is a crucial element for human well-being as well as an essential component for a vibrant, sustainable economy with a productive labour force. Care work ensures the complex and life-sustaining web on which our very existence depends on. Women around the globe take on a disproportionate share of unpaid care work, and gender imbalances in the distribution of care work constitute a root cause of women’s economic and social disempowerment. In South Africa, Budlender (2008, p.16) finds that women spend almost ten times as much time on care as men (48 minutes compared with five minutes per day), Further, this gender difference may manifest at young ages. In South Africa, for example, Budlender (2008, p.30) finds that “[young] girls were three times as likely to do unpaid care work as young boys”. For women living in rural areas these figures can vary widely, particularly in areas with limited access to regular basic services such as energy, water and sanitation, as women and girls tend to bear the brunt of the unpaid labour to collect and manage these resources and services for daily household consumption.

UN Women developed the ‘Transforming Approaches to Recognize, Reduce, and Redistribute unpaid Care Work in Women’s Economic Empowerment Programming’ Programme, dubbed the 3R programme, being implemented in Rwanda, Senegal, and South Africa. The overarching goal of the programme is to remove the structural barriers to women’s full and equal participation in the economy by recognizing, reducing, and redistributing unpaid care work. Although the programme was initially developed to focus on the 3Rs, UN Women equally realizes the importance of rewarding and representing paid care workers by ensuring decent work and social protection, including migrant workers.

**Governments** should ensure that core economic and social policies include concrete commitments to establish, finance and sustain universal care systems and invest in affordable, accessible, quality care services (health care, education, childcare, elder care, disability care) infrastructure (sustainable energy, water, and transport and information and communications technologies) for all. Governments and international financial institutions (IFIs) must ensure that fiscal consolidation and austerity measures in response to social and economic crises do not restrict investment in and the quality of public care systems. We must also guard against privatization of public care services, which disproportionately harms women and girls, who are most likely to fill the gap in care services through their unpaid care work and are least able to pay out-of-pocket for privatized care services
- ** Improve data and statistics on care.** A key priority is to strengthen the production, dissemination, and use of data and statistics on care work, both paid and unpaid, and on care-related policies and investments. Improved measurement of the amount, kind, and distribution of unpaid care work between men and women within families and communities (through time-use surveys and other instruments) and of paid care work, decent work deficits, and occupational segregation will help shape better and more gender-responsive care policies and systems. Incorporating measures of paid and unpaid care work in national and international statistics and in measures of economic progress is crucial for recognizing the value of care and its contributions.

Although pre-primary education is a policy priority in South Africa and has been for a few decades, sufficient provision of affordable and high-quality early childhood care and education (ECCE) is still inadequate, even for children from age 3 to the age they enter primary school. This is reflected in public spending on pre-primary education, which is a tiny fraction of gross domestic product in th
