Care-related social protection provides income support and services to caregivers, primarily women, to help meet the costs of care. It provides financial or in-kind support to those who give or require care, in connection with life events such as childbirth, disability, aging, or chronic illness. It is a core feature of inclusive care and support systems. As part of Selangor‘s latest Care Economy Policy and the Selangor Early Childhood Development Policy and Action Plan, there is a concerted push towards enhancing women‘s labour force participation across Selangor by supporting their care responsibilities while simultaneously improving early childhood development outcomes, including nutrition and childcare access. Efforts to consolidate or improve these existing schemes could help pave the way towards ensuring all mothers and children are able to access support. Recognising this, Selangor, Malaysia’s most urbanised and economically developed state has had in place several care-related social protection schemes aimed at supporting working parents or legal guardians who care for children 0-6 years old to enable their workforce participation and improve early childhood development outcomes, among other goals. These are all varied standalone schemes which have slightly different aims and modalities and are also administered by different agencies under the Selangor government.
