The Routledge Handbook of Social Care Work Around the World
provides both a comprehensive and authoritative state-of-the-art
review of the current research in this subject. It is the first
handbook to cover social care work research from around the world,
including both low- and middle-income countries as well as high
income countries. Each of the 22 chapters are written by experts on
long-term care services, particularly for older people and cover
key issues and debates, based on research evidence, on social care
work in a specific country. They look at perspectives of social
care work from the macro level: the structural conditions for
long-term care, including demographic challenges and the long-term
care policy, the meso level: the level of provider organizations
and intermediaries, and the micro level: views of care workers,
care users, and unpaid informal carers. Furthermore, they discuss a
number of topics central to discussions of care work including
marketization, personalization policies, policy implementation
under austerity, the provision of social care work whether through
public services, or private arrangements, or mixed types, funding,
the feminization of social care and the new role that technology,
and robots can play in care work. By drawing together leading
scholars from around the world, this book provides an up to the
minute snapshot of current scholarship as well as signposting
several fruitful avenues for future research. This book is both an
invaluable resource for scholars and an indispensable teaching tool
for use in the classroom and will be of interest to students,
academics, social workers, social policy-makers and human service
professionals.
