What are Mothers and Caregivers Economic Rights (MCER)?
A. All societies depend on caregiving to function. MCER work is based on the principle that caregiving is a primary human activity (not just something women do because they care about children and other people). MCER prescribes a slate of social policies that will help mothers, fathers, and other caregivers integrate paid work and family life, as well as reduce the occupational penalties and economic risks associated with unpaid care work.
