Care Work in Europe provides a cross-national and cross-sectoral
study of care work in Europe today, covering policy, provision and
practice, as well as exploring how care work is conceptualized and
understood. Drawing on a study which looks at care work across the
life course in a number of European countries, this book:
- explores the context and emerging policy agendas
- provides an analysis of how different countries and sectors
understand and structure care work
- examines key issues, such as the extreme gendering of the
workforce, increasing problems of recruitment and turnover, what
kinds of knowledge and education the work requires and what
conditions are needed to ensure good quality employment
- considers possible future directions, including the option of a
generic professional worker, educated to work across the life
course and whether 'care' will, or should, remain a distinct field
of policy and employment.
This groundbreaking comparative study provokes much-needed new
thinking about the current situation and future direction of care
work, an area essential to the social and economic well-being of
Europe.
