Caring Societies, Inclusive, and Green Economies in Asia and the Pacific

The report “Caring Societies, Inclusive, and Green Economies in Asia and the Pacific. Unveiling Data to Advance Women’s Economic Empowerment Beyond GDP” explores the profound intersections between the economic empowerment of women, care economies, and sustainable development. The report supports the Beyond GDP initiative, which aims to include metrics on well-being and environmental sustainability in measuring progress. By addressing the limitations of traditional economic measures like GDP from a gender lens, it advocates for a more inclusive approach that acknowledges the value of care work and women’s financial inclusion and decision-making in climate action. By reimagining economic models and placing women’s economic empowerment at the forefront, this publication serves as a resource for shaping future initiatives focused on creating caring, inclusive, and green economies that ensure no one is left behind.
