Consider This: Care Economy — The Business of Care

Malaysia’s Care Economy is an investment white space: An investment area that serves a strong development need but has yet to benefit from a robust policy framework and political momentum. What would it take to create a robust care infrastructure in Malaysia? And how might increased investments into this sector transform care services? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks to Anfaal Saari, Member of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly who holds the portfolio of Women and Family Empowerment, Social Welfare & the Care Economy, and Dr Haniza Khalid, currently Senior Research Associate at Universiti Malaya’s Social Wellbeing Research Centre. She recently authored a report on enabling investments into the Malaysian Care Economy, commissioned by UNDP Malaysia.
