- Description
- In this booklet, the Labour Rights for Women (LRW) campaign looks at Childcare in the Workplace in South Africa. Nearly all working parents face the challenge of finding safe, appropriate childcare for their children while they work. In the past, women were traditionally seen as the primary carers of their children, with their work and careers coming second to their roles as mothers. But as the face of the workplace changes, many more women are in fulltime employment. Many more women also work in the informal sector. And many more women are developing their own career paths. In South Africa especially, many more women are also becoming the primary wage earners in their families, and many are also single parents. This means that changes in childcare policy and practice in the workplace are necessary. If parents, especially women, are to be productive members of the workforce whose contribution is taken seriously, they need a functioning system of childcare in the workplace to support them.
