Tackling childcare in Sri Lanka
Graham Watson
12th February 2019
This International Finance Corporation clip looks at the importance of tackling the lack of childcare in Sri Lanka: it's an important cog in promoting female participation in the labour force, in a country where women only represent 36% of the labour force and anything that increases this could potentially boost GDP by up to 20%.
This gives you some illustration of why development is such a multi-faceted issue - in why getting women working is such an important part of the development puzzle.
