In many emerging economies, growth hasn’t led to enough decent jobs. Pro-employment macro policies-where fiscal & monetary tools boost labour demand—can drive structural transformation & make jobs central to development. 🔗bit.ly/47ZDoth

Based on ASI data on registered firms from 2000-16 @Radhicka & Krishnapriya note importance of older, larger firms in creating manufacturing jobs. Policies should promote entry of new medium-sized plants & growth of dynamic, incumbent small & medium firms ideasforindia.in/topics/prod…

One way to create jobs for both women & men is to invest in the care economy. This will Recognise, Reduce and Redistribute women's unpaid care work, free up time for paid work & leisure. Care economy = lab intensive green jobs. I write for ICPP. icpp.ashoka.edu.in/invest-in…

Very interesting piece on promoting equal norms for childcare. A great example of institutionalised childcare support is Germany's "kita" system, where parents can leave their toddlers during the day. This enables #women's participation in the #workforce!
