The Committee recommends that the State party develop a national plan to address the care deficit at old age, with a gender lens in relation to both care recipients and formal and informal care providers.

The Committee recommends that the State party develop strategies to address stereotypes about the roles and responsibilities of women and men in the family and in society that may result in intersecting forms of discrimination against women.
