Yes, Metropolis, World Association of the Major Metropolises is talking about care again – and we’re not stopping anytime soon. Why? Because caregiving is the foundation that holds families, communities, and cities together. It is what ensures no one is left behind when they need support – and we all do, at some point in life. The good news? Local governments are already leading the way with practices that work. As we gear up for the International Day of Care and Support, we are excited to share a new toolkit that breaks down the essentials: • Why is caregiving crucial for cities? • What’s at stake for local governments? • And most importantly, how can they develop local policies that truly support caregivers? This toolkit is just the start. If you are ready to dive deeper, join the conversation with Metropolis, World Association of the Major Metropolises, Global Alliance for Care / Alianza Global por los Cuidados, International Development Research Centre (IDRC), United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG), and many more.

How does the 4 day week contribute towards gender equality? Dr. Dale Whelehan explains how women benefit with better health outcomes than men during 4 day week trials. He also explains how men tend to take on more household duties than when they were working a 5 day week. The 4 day week destigmatizes work-time by shifting the conversation from hours to output. How might this impact our society? #4dayweek #genderequality
