The equal sharing of responsibilities between women and men, including caregiving in the context of HIV/AIDS 2009, para. 9 | 19 août 2019 | Paragraph | The Commission recognizes that caregiving work at the household, family and community levels includes the support and care of children, older persons, the sick, persons with disabilities, and caring associated with family kinship and community responsibilities, which is affected by factors such as size of household and number and age of children, with significant differences between developed and developing countries in the availability of infrastructure and services supporting caregiving. The Commission also recognizes that gender inequality and discrimination contribute to the continuing imbalance in the division of labour between women and men and perpetuate stereotypical perceptions of men and women.

The Commission stresses the need to recognize, reduce and redistribute the disproportionate share of unpaid care and domestic work by promoting the equal sharing of responsibilities between women and men and by prioritizing, inter alia, social protection policies and infrastructure development. | Commission de la condition de la femme | CSW Agreed Conclusions / Declaration |

Consequently, the Committee attaches particular importance to the message contained in recommendation 44 of the Plan of Action: "Educational programmes featuring the elderly as the teachers and transmitters of knowledge, culture and spiritual values should be developed." | Committee on Social, Economic and Cultural Rights | General Comment / Recommendation |

The economic, social and cultural rights of older persons 1995, para. 12 | 19 août 2019 | Paragraph | This is not determinative of the matter, however, since the prohibition of discrimination on the grounds of "other status" could be interpreted as applying to age. The Committee notes that, while it may not yet be possible to conclude that discrimination on the grounds of age is comprehensively prohibited by the Covenant, the range of matters in relation to which such discrimination can be accepted is very limited. Moreover, it must be emphasized that the unacceptableness of discrimination against older persons is underlined in many international policy documents and is confirmed in the legislation of the vast majority of States. In the few areas in which discrimination continues to be tolerated, such as in relation to mandatory retirement ages or access to tertiary education, there is a clear trend towards the elimination of such barriers. The Committee is of the view that States parties should seek to expedite this trend to the greatest extent possible. | Committee on Social, Economic and Cultural Rights | General Comment / Recommendation |
