Indonesia is advancing inclusive economic growth by addressing barriers to women’s workforce participation, including access to quality childcare.
Despite growing demand, limited availability of affordable, full-day childcare services continues to constrain productivity and talent retention — particularly for working mothers. This challenge is especially acute in sectors critical to Indonesia’s development, such as manufacturing, agribusiness, and financial services.
The Business Case for Employer-Supported Childcare in Indonesia presents new data and company case studies that demonstrate how family-friendly workplace policies can reduce absenteeism, improve retention, and enhance business performance. The report outlines practical strategies for employers to support care responsibilities while contributing to national development goals.
By adopting these approaches, companies can unlock broader talent pools, strengthen workforce resilience, and drive more equitable and sustainable growth.
This report is part of IFC’s broader collaboration with the Australian government to promote private sector solutions that create better jobs, improve livelihoods, and support inclusive recovery in Indonesia.
