Investing in Women Enabling Policy Reforms Brochure

The Investing in Women (IW) Enabling Policy Reforms Brochure outlines IW’s approach to supporting policy reforms that strengthen the care economy and drive women’s economic equality in Southeast Asia. Recognising that social norms and systemic structures often place care responsibilities disproportionately on women—limiting their access to paid work and entrepreneurship—IW works with credible local institutions and private sector actors to strengthen the evidence base and drive collective action needed to influence and inform policy reform that supports women’s economic participation.

It features IW’s ongoing work in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam, including studies and pilots on the Future Demand for Care in Southeast Asia, employer-supported childcare in Indonesia, part-time and flexible work in the Philippines and at-home aged care in Vietnam.
