WORLD Policy Analysis Center

UNICEF

UNICEF works to help children fulfil their potential from early childhood through adolescence in over 190 countries and territories across the globe. UNICEF’s breadth of initiatives is remarkable, and spans health, education, social policy, humanitarian crises and other emergencies, empowering girls and women, supply and logistics, research and analysis, and more.

WORLD’s collaboration with UNICEF spans many years and a number of initiatives. A few of the many collaborations include:

A joint piece in a 2014 report “25 Years of the Convention on the Rights of the Child: What it would mean to fulfil its potential”

Joint leadership on raising the profile of maternal and paternal leave at the 2019 High-level Political Forum
WORLD data was included in a 2020 report “Childcare in a Global Crisis: The Impact of COVID-19 on work and family life”. The report cited WORLD data to help document the proportion of countries offering tuition-free pre-primary and primary education, and the dilemma parents face when they are forced to leave their children unsupervised in order to go to work.
WORLD data was included in a recent “Family-Friendly Policies Handbook for Business”
