The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) say to achieve international standards in terms of child and elder care services and leave by 2035, it would be necessary to progressively increase the resources allocated to care by an average of 0.4 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) annually until 2035.
The two United Nations (UN) organisations have made their position known in a position paper at the XVI Regional Conference on Women in Latin America and the Caribbean that analyses how to more effectively manage the major transformation towards the care society in the region.
