“As a policy maker, you cannot make good policy if the single largest sector of your nation's economy is not visible. You can't presume to know where the needs are. You can't locate time poverty. You can't address the most critical issues of need” ~Marylin Waryng

3/ Girls, especially, face this burden early.
Their labour is often framed as “helping out,” rather than acknowledged as real work.
Because it’s linked to obedience & preparation for marriage, it comes without rights or limits. ⚖️

📢 We cannot afford to ignore #UnpaidCarers anymore!
At some point in life, every one of us will either become an unpaid carer or rely on one. Despite this inevitability, #UnpaidCareWork remains invisible and unrecognised to people until they experience it themselves.
Caregivers – you are the backbone of our society, but your work often goes unnoticed. Unpaid care is worth a staggering $11 trillion annually – 9% of global GDP. As AI threatens millions of jobs, we must recognise and compensate this unpaid but incredibly meaningful societal contribution. Digital currencies or targeted support can reward care work. Community programmes can turn challenges into opportunities, empowering caregivers. In the age of AI, caring must become the currency of the digital economy. Elevating caregiving creates a balanced society where tech complements the human touch. When we support one another, we all rise. Valuing unpaid care builds an equitable community where everyone thrives. #UnpaidCareWork #GenderInequality #FutureOfWork #JamieBykovBrett
Did you know unpaid caregivers contribute a staggering $11 trillion to our economy? As AI looms, let’s ensure their invaluable work isn’t just counted in heartbeats but in coins too. How will we reward our unsung heroes? #UnpaidCareWork #FutureOfWork

The breadwinner, whether female or male, supports the family financially. Let’s not forget the unpaid caregivers - often wives or grandmothers - who keep the household running. Their efforts enable breadwinners to focus on their jobs. #UnpaidCareWork
