Introducing novel theoretical, empirical and practical
investigations with case studies from UK, Europe, South America and
South East Asia, the book offers a novel global outlook on how
contemporary homes are facing genuine challenges from operational,
economic, spatial, social and wellbeing perspectives. The changing
demographics of our modern society have inevitably impacted the
dynamics and relationships within the home from being personal and
private to that of multiple work relationships; domestic work, care
for older people, or supporting people with special needs. Whilst
the home is a concept universally experienced, permeating every
aspect of our lives, it remains an entity whose influence on health
and wellbeing is poorly understood. This book brings together 17
different contributions from scholars, researchers and
practitioners from different disciplinary and professional
backgrounds including three feature articles by leading figures,
such as Lord Best and Baroness Hollins. The chapters are organised
within three parts that look at the triangle of people + work +
care in the home. At a time when homes are increasingly becoming
local hubs for care and wellbeing, this volume is a critical and
useful addition to current literature in the social sciences,
humanities, economics, culture, care and wellbeing in the domestic
sphere.
