The Aspen Institute: Valuing Care: Principles for a Post-Pandemic Care Economy (Virtual Event)

The Aspen Institute is hosting a virtual event on Valuing Care: Principles for a Post-Pandemic Care Economy on Wednesday, April 21^st, at 2:00 PM.

The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the value of caregiving work and the need for equitable and affordable access to care – for children, for elders, for those with a disability, and for all of us in hard times.

As we move from crisis to recovery, how can policy contribute to building a care economy that dignifies the work of caregivers and expands access to quality, affordable care? How can our systems center gender and racial equity to construct a care economy that serves all families? And how can our society support a healthy and sustainable caregiving system for our post-pandemic future, one in which the demand for caregiving is poised to continue to grow?
