In the coming decades, care for older persons will become a pressing priority for low- and middle-income countries too. Social transfers and paid leaves enable parents to take time off work for children's care. Greater public investment is needed in early childhood education and care services, long-term care services for older persons and those with disabilities, and basic infrastructure to support care work. It is within families that the young and old, the healthy and frail, develop the human capabilities that undergird vibrant economies and inclusive societies.
