UN Women

Gender Economist - P4

Thailand, Bangkok , Bangkok

Background:UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. Placing women's rights at the center of all its efforts, UN Women leads and coordinates United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It provides strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States' priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors. UN Women is mandated to lead, coordinate, and promote accountability for the implementation of gender equality commitments across the UN System. Across Asia and the Pacific, UN Women promotes gender equality and women's empowerment. UN Women implements programs (including normative and advocacy) in 41 Member States in the region, including Australia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, China, Cook Islands, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Kiribati, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Maldives, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nauru, Nepal, New Zealand, Niue, Pakistan, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Republic of Korea, Samoa, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, and Viet Nam, through direct implementation as well as implementing partners, which include government entities, non-governmental organizations, the private sector, UN agencies, and non-UN intergovernmental organizations. The economic empowerment of women (WEE) – to succeed and advance economically and to make and act on economic decisions – is a prerequisite for realizing gender equality and empowering women in all areas of life. It is also a cornerstone for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda. Unpaid care work has recently been established as a policy target in the global development agenda, as reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (UN General Assembly 2015). UN Women's global Economic Empowerment Strategy  focuses on the key strategic priorities, namely:Advancing Gender-Responsive Business Conduct and Creating More Decent Work Opportunities (WEPs)Accelerating Gender-Responsive Entrepreneurship for (M)SMEs (i.e. Gender-Responsive Procurement & strengthening women's entrepreneurship)Progressing Safe Migration to Decent EmploymentTransforming Care SystemsAt the global level, under the leadership of the UN Deputy Secretary-General, UN Women recently coordinated an inter-agency working group, which includes the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), ILO, UNOHCHR, and UNDP. The result of this a co-authored UN System policy paper on "Transforming Care Systems in the Context of the Sustainable Development Goals and Our Common Agenda." The paper provides a practical framework for UN agencies to address care within the context of the SDGs and promotes comprehensive care systems that enable gender equality and social justice. It highlights policy options to support the transformation of care systems and highlights the importance of human rights-based, universal, and transformative approaches to care. This is an important milestone as it will shape and guide UN and system-wide action on Care in the decades to come. It is also a powerful example of how UN Women is carrying out its coordination role under its triple mandate. The presentation of this paper set the scene for the Forum by building a shared understanding of feminist building-blocks for transforming care systems and underscoring the development of the TransformCare Investment Initiative Asia-PacificWithin the focus on Transforming Care Systems, the TransformCare Investment Initiative Asia-Pacific (TCII-AP) is a UN Women-convened initiative to make care systems prosperous for people and the planet. TransformCare is a global large-scale, long-term response aiming to catalyse multi-donor investments and multi-partner collaborations to build resilient care systems, serving as a foundation for caring societies and inclusive and green economies where women can fully realize their economic rights and participation. Advancing women's economic empowerment by building caring societies and inclusive and green economies aims to contribute by 2035 to:Benefit 100 million women and girls in all their diversities Create 125 million new employment opportunities in the care economy in 2035 as well as in future-oriented sectors, including the green and digital economyRelease 2 billion hours of time spent by women on unpaid care workAn important part of TCII is to support policymakers with tools and guidance for driving gender-responsive policies and practices to create an enabling environment to transform care systems. Towards this, tools such as the Policy support tool for estimating care deficits, investment costs, and economic returns serve as a guide to public investments in the care economy. This policy support tool was developed in the framework of the UN Women and International Labour Organization (ILO) Joint Programme titled "Promoting Decent Employment for Women through Inclusive Growth Policies and Investments in the Care Economy" and as part of the UN-wide response initiatives to be included in the UN socio-economic response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Within this framework, the tool aims to provide a methodology on how to:Identify the coverage gaps in care services (namely public healthcare, long-term care, early childhood care and education, and primary and secondary education);Estimate the costs of public investments and expenditures for eliminating these coverage gaps; andAssess the various social, employment, and fiscal returns to such investments in the short- and long-run.  There is widespread consensus in research and policy evaluations of gender inequalities that women's disproportionate shouldering of unpaid care work constitutes a root cause of their economic and social disempowerment. The huge gender gaps in unpaid care work time translate into parallel gaps in paid work time and systematically generate gender inequalities in the form of a multitude of market outcomes, including the gender employment gap, horizontal and vertical gender jobs segregation, the gender earnings and wealth gap as well as gender gaps in political representation and decision-making.  UN Women's 'Caring Societies, Inclusive, and Green Economies in Asia and the Pacific' notes that over the past 30 years, the gender gap in the labour force participation rate declined by 2 percentage points in the Asia-Pacific region as a whole and across all sub-regions.2 Yet, gender disparities persist in labor markets, with a lower percentage of women participating compared to men. Across Asia-Pacific, there is an urgent need to transform care systems to increase opportunities for women and girls to fully participate in economies and societies. Expanding care services, such as kindergartens, and enhancing care-supporting workplaces through parental leave can ease the time constraints on women and girls with care responsibilities. Improving the status of women workers in the care economy and beyond requires expanding social protections and improving labor conditions, including wages, equal opportunities, and freedom from discrimination, harassment and violence.To bridge the aforementioned gaps, as part of the UN Women–ILO joint programme Promoting Decent Employment for Women through Inclusive Growth Policies and Investments in the Care Economy, a comprehensive policy tool on public investments in the care economy was developed. This policy tool seeks to increase policymakers' awareness of the potential of investments in the care economy to meet multiple development priorities, while at the same time advising on how to prioritize such expenditures. Specifically, the tool aims to provide a methodology for how to (i) identify coverage gaps in care services; (ii) estimate the costs of public investments and expenditures for eliminating these coverage gaps; and (iii) assess the various economic returns to such investments in the short- and the long-run. The tool thus seeks to strengthen national capacities and contribute directly to strengthen government efforts on promoting care economy. In Asia and the Pacific only, Nepal has been part of this programme and implemented these tools. However, the demand and interest of other countries in the region is increasing. Therefore, the UN Women Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (ROAP) aims to establish a diverse pool of consultants for placement on a retainer pool, accessible to the Regional Office, Multi-Country Offices (MCOs), NPPs, and Country Offices. It is seeking technical support from international consultants under a retainer contract to contribute to provide technical assistance to conduct established policy tools , costing tools, economic modeling, programme and policy development, knowledge management, and coordination functions particularly for efforts to implement the 'Transform Care Investment Initiative Asia-Pacific (TCII-AP)' as well as the broader Women's Economic Empowerment portfolio and targeted activities.
