| Summary: | This report Tackling Childcare: The
Business Case for Employer-supported Childcare in Sri Lanka
responds to IFC client and partner demand for
country-specific business case evidence on childcare and
practical guidance on putting ideas into practice. It
features I O case studies of companies across
sectors—including in the country's key industries such
as apparel and information technology—to highlight why
employers should consider supporting their employees'
childcare needs. The report shows that building an onsite
creche is not the only way forward, as there are many
different models through which employers can support their
employees. The models the companies choose depend on what
they can offer-while still gaining business benefits. This
publication reaches hundreds of employers in the country, so
they can learn from our partners' experience and
replicate what works. It is also a call to action, urging
key stakeholders to invest in childcare solutions and
support the infrastructure that allows childcare providers
to grow at the scale that is needed to support the demand,
and generate.
