Care work, both paid and unpaid, contributes to well-being, social
development and economic growth. But the costs of providing care
are unequally borne across gender and social class. Feminist
scholarship on the gendered construction of welfare provisioning
and welfare regimes has produced a conceptually strong and
empirically grounded analysis of care, reinforcing the necessity of
rethinking the distinctions between "the public" and "the private"
as well as the links between them. Yet this analysis, premised on
post-industrial contexts, does not travel easily to other parts of
the world. Many of its core assumptions - about family structures,
labor markets, state capacities, and public social provisioning -
do not hold for a wider range of countries. Drawing on original
research on the care economy in three developing regions (Africa,
Asia, Latin America), this volume addresses a major empirical
lacuna while facilitating a conversation across the North-South
divide.
