Bridging the gaps in care services could create almost 300 million new jobs worldwide, a new report by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) has said.

The report, ‘Care at work: Investing in care leave and services for a more gender equal world of work’, finds that three in 10 women of reproductive age, or 649 million women, have inadequate maternity protection that does not meet the key requirements of the ILO’s Maternity Protection Convention, 2000 .

At the current pace of reform it will take at least 46 years to achieve minimum maternity leave rights in the countries analysed, which means the relevant target of the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals will not be met. The Care at work report offers a global overview of national laws, policies and practices on care, including maternity, paternity, parental, child and long-term care.
