VEST

The care economy is the invisible backbone of our society and economy—essential yet undervalued. At VEST Her Ventures, we’re committed to championing this sector and the women who make up its majority. As the care economy faces labor shortages and persistent pay gaps, strategic investments are crucial for a thriving future. Addressing these issues benefits us all, creating a more sustainable future across industries. #VESTHerVentures #CareEconomy #FutureOfWork
