This study focuses on the economic participation of women and the measures taken to address it, with emphasis on the child hospitality sector that emerged in response to the need for childcare while women are at work. It seeks to develop an in-depth understanding of: characteristics of the childcare economy in the country, its major stakeholders, changes over the last decade and during the COVID-19 pandemic, needs and expectations of families, and the broader policy environment framing public and private provision of care.
