Childcare Resource and Research Unit

Published purpose

This 36-month project will build capacity of the Childcare Resource and Research Unit (CRRU) to advance childcare priorities, specifically focusing on unpaid care work, in order to help secure a child care system for all, which is a key issue exacerbated by COVID-19, as part of an inclusive post-pandemic recovery and economy. This project will engage a broad range of Canadians in a number of ways to gather evidence about child care’s centrality to women’s economic security and prosperity, through knowledge production and widespread knowledge transfer related to new and emerging developments in child care. The project will enhance CRRU's primary role in advancing women's equality through childcare by engaging partners, producing and disseminating analytical/empirical evidence to address new/emerging developments; and developing a roadmap to undertake collective action with women's movement partners.
