On November 14, the UN Women Knowledge & Partnerships Centre in the Republic of Korea convened the UN Women Private Sector Forum: Care Service Innovation and Investment for Our Sustainable Future.
The Forum brought together private sector leaders from diverse industries—including construction, finance, investment, artificial intelligence, and research—as well as international speakers from across Asia. Discussions explored the role and potential of the private sector in transforming unpaid care into services, with a focus on senior care. They also examined ways to connect social value with business opportunities in the context of rapid population aging.
