Childcare as Growth Lever in India

Childcare as Growth Lever in India

The article talks about how important childcare is for India's growth.

It says that when mothers can't find good childcare, they often quit their jobs, which slows down the economy.

Some states in the south of India have shown that when they provide childcare and other support, more women can work.

The article also talks about how the first 1,000 days of a child's life are very important for their brain development.

It suggests that India should create a national mission to make childcare a priority and work together with businesses and civil society to make it happen.

This way, India can make the most of its women's talents and give every child a good start in life.
