Next Indian Elections

“I want to see in this election, central to the election, two things on the agenda: 1) Caregiving. Our caregiving system is absolutely broken in this country. It was starkly in our faces during COVID and now women are saying they’re opting out of the workforce because they either can’t find good care for their children or it’s too expensive. I want to see us fix this broken caregiving system … And then also, I want us to address adolescent mental health. We have a crisis in this country, it was building before COVID came along, COVID exacerbated it. But you can’t talk to a family that hasn’t had some end of the spectrum of some form of mental health crisis … Those are two key issues that I’m looking at in this election.” - Melinda French Gates
