Unpaid care work and women's human rights 2013, para. 33
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The right to work also requires States parties to take positive measures to enable and assist unpaid caregivers to enjoy the right to work without discrimination and to implement technical and vocational education plans to facilitate access to employment. To this end, States will need to actively consider the constraints faced by unpaid caregivers in the design and implementation of plans, programmes and other measures. Moreover, States must take measures to progressively ensure access to quality and affordable public services, such as facilities for children and dependents, that enable caregivers to undertake paid work.
