The research considers the impacts of three policy interventions (universal free quality childcare, extended school days for school-age children, and universal elder care) to inform decision making by Mexico’s National Institute of Women (INMUJERES). The Levy Institute Measure of Time and Income Poverty (LIMTIP) is estimated, and the three areas of social care investment are assessed in terms of their impacts on distribution of employment and earnings, time use within households, and time and income poverty.
