Unpaid care work is a critical but often overlooked part of the economy.

KIPPRA's policy brief titled "📘 Macro-Economic Valuation of Care Work: A Social Accounting Matrix Approach" provides evidence on the economic value of care work and highlights the importance of recognising, reducing and redistributing unpaid care responsibilities.

The findings offer valuable insights for strengthening care policies and advancing women’s economic empowerment in Kenya.
