The Caring Economy

The Caring Economy emphasizes valuing and investing in activities that support well-being, such as caregiving, health, education, and community support. Unlike traditional economies focused mainly on productivity and profits, it recognizes the essential contributions of unpaid and underpaid work—like caring for children, seniors, and the sick—as vital for societal health and stability. By prioritizing these aspects, the Caring Economy aims to create a more equitable, sustainable system that nurtures human potential and fosters social cohesion, ultimately benefiting everyone by ensuring that care and well-being are at the heart of economic progress.
