To support steps to advancing decent work in the care economy in the Republic of Moldova, this brief draws on the findings of the ILO Care at Work report (ILO 2022), which synthesizes the results of the ILO legal survey of 185 countries and reviews progress made around the world while assessing the persisting and significant legal gaps in care policies and services, as well as the ILO Global Care Policy Portal (ILO n.d.-a) and the Investment Simulator (ILO n.d.-b).
Drawing on these resources, this country brief:
- provides a review of the status and progress of legislation on care policies in Moldova;
- highlights regulatory gaps that may limit access of working women, their partners and family to care benefits;
- presents the investment case for a transformative package of care policies.
The ILO Member State Republic of Moldova is an official candidate country for European Union membership since June 2022. Both ILO standards and EU legislation are important benchmarks regarding care work policies.
