Policy Study 59: Transforming Care Systems in North Macedonia: Gender, Care Needs, and Financing Pathways for an Inclusive Care Economy
Presentation at UN Women’s conference
Today we participated in the conference “Transforming Care Systems in North Macedonia through an Inclusive, Gender-Responsive Approach,” organized by UN Women Skopje, in partnership with national institutions and with the support of the British Embassy Skopje.
The conference focused on the 📖 study “Transforming Care Systems in North Macedonia: Gender, Care Needs, and Financing Pathways for an Inclusive Care Economy,” prepared by Finance Think for UN Women.
📌 Investing in the care economy is not only a social policy priority — it is an investment in higher employment, greater economic inclusion, and more sustainable development.
