Institutional Mapping of Child Care Actors
This institutional mapping aims to identify key actors who might be influential in the field of child care. It aims, in particular, to explore their positions in respect of child care in relation to women in informal employment. The focus on women reflects the facts that women are, in general, more likely than men to be in informal employment, and that women – around the globe – do the bulk of paid and unpaid caring for children both in the home and elsewhere.
This paper is one of several produced in the first phase of the Child Care Initiative (CCI) of the Social Protection Programme of WIEGO. The CCI aims to explore the feasibility of a global campaign to integrate child care, conceptually and in policy terms, as a core component of social protection and to make the link with work, including informal work, explicit.
