26 words

Main Body

Care work comparison: Men 0.5 Hour, Women 5.4 Hours. This calls for recognizing, reducing and redistribution of care work.

Impact of care work on women:

1Reduce labour force participation

2Economic dependence

3Lack of heightttion, 17% is GDP from women

4Dual burden on working women

5Reinforce patriarchy

Impact of recognition, reduction and redistribution of care work on gender equality:

1Recognition of women contribution in a DP → devaluation of her care work

2Increase labour force participation by reducing time on care work

3Redistribute work would promote gender sensitivity and male recognition of women contribution

4Increase women agency - women to time to take up education, economic activities, focus on health

Impact on inclusive development:

1Reduce Gender based discrimination among higher women participation in jobs and as a leader

2Reduce gender based division of labours (e.g. women only in Pink jobs due to caring nature)

3Promote women as decision maker - higher women leaders

Measures to be taken:

1Valuation of care economy through inequality Time use surveys (e.g. Australia)

2Institutional care economy (e.g. creches and mid house nurseries, public care)

3Women and Men training for care roles

4Provision of charging of maternity leaves (e.g. Scandinavian countries)

Thus these measures would promote contribution of "Bhagti Navi" as a change maker in the family of "Hight Bharat".
