‘Only five per cent private sector employees invest in childcare’
The report released on Wednesday said the scope of the study covered six Nigerian states across the macro, market, and firm levels including nearly 7,000 stakeholders—6,000 employees, 380 employers, and 350 childcare providers.
The study found large gaps in workplace policies and practices that concern parental leave, workplace flexibility, and access to good quality childcare that is affordable and convenient. Part of the report said, “Childcare that is affordable, of good quality, and convenient is a game changer for working parents of both genders, but especially for women who are more likely to be limited in their careers if their childcare is inadequate. Childcare can bring peace of mind, and it enables women to enhance productivity. If Nigeria can maximise the achievements of women—both as workers and as leaders—companies will generate more revenue, and the nation will follow.
