Abstract: Investment in care is a more cost-effective and equitable way to create jobs than investing in infrastructure construction or green energy development, as it generates more jobs per dollar spent than any other investment. The job creation potential of social care investment in the short run has been analyzed in several studies. The latest International Labour Organization (ILO) figures show that an additional 27 million persons have joined the ranks of the jobless due to the crisis and lackluster recovery, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) stated that growth is now too low to make a substantial dent in unemployment in advanced economies. The individual characteristics of workers determine their likelihood of employment and earnings across occupations and industries. This chapter concentrates on early childhood development preschool and formal child care and home-based care for disabled and chronically ill patients.
