1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.600
The US will lose
$290 billion a year in GDP

2
00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:08.360
if it doesn't fix the care economy,
the ecosystem

3
00:00:08.440 --> 00:00:11.440
that supports the young,
old, and sick.

4
00:00:11.680 --> 00:00:14.640
My name is Neeru Ravi,

5
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.640
and this is my Impact in Sixty.

6
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:21.280
There aren't enough
paid care workers, and people

7
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:25.160
who have to stay home to care for
family are quitting their jobs,

8
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.480
or not entering the workforce
in the first place.

9
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:33.720
BCG quantified the care economy
for the first time at up

10
00:00:33.720 --> 00:00:38.640
to $6 trillion and then estimated
the effect of its dysfunction.

11
00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:42.360
Understanding
that hit to GDP is having an impact.

12
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:46.040
The White House cited our work
when President Joe Biden

13
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:49.960
recently signed an executive order
aimed at broadening access

14
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:51.520
to care in the US.

15
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:55.240
The issue should be high
on the CEO agenda as well.

16
00:00:55.360 --> 00:00:59.240
Getting this right
will be vital to economic prosperity

17
00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:01.280
and societal well-being,

18
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.519
and that's my impact in 60.
