An advisory group made up of civil society, academia, private providers and care workers interacts with the board and the secretariat.103 The National Care Secretariat was first envisioned purely as a coordinating secretariat, but to give it political room for manoeuvre, it was allocated a new budget to expand childcare services.104 Over time, the care services provided by other ministries and state agencies are to be moved under the SNIC budget allocation. The design stage focused more on the establishment of coordination mechanisms than on the detail of policy design. Care policies can also have positive demand-side labour market impacts. They can generate employment, in particular women’s employment, and have the potential to create decent jobs at a higher rate than other public expenditures.
