Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 4: Mariam Jaafar on supporting caregivers
Adult caregivers are the other invisible backbone of society and yet when their responsibilities ease, returning to work is not simple, especially after being away for years. MP Mariam Jaafar, who raised this concern in parliament on Tuesday (Mar 3), pointed out that today's caregiving responsibilities can quietly shape tomorrow's inequalities. She called for more support for caregivers in three areas - relief, retention and re-entry.
