There are not many books that address the boundaries of care of
older people from a work-life perspective. This book, authored by
contributors from various countries, looks at the boundaries of
care by looking at private and public help, professional and
personal help and paid and unpaid caregivers. It captures and
conceptualizes the complexity of the intersection of work and home
life as it relates to the provision of assistance and support to
older relatives in a variety of "care work" contexts. It explores
these issues within a critical framework, rather than from an
assumed stress or burden perspective, which dominates current texts
on the topic. Readers of this volume will gain a deeper
understanding of issues of care provision amongst "networks" of
careers and helpers, and of the particular dynamics of care when it
is episodic or framed by constrains of space and time as a result
of geography. In addition, each chapter addresses issues of
diversity with sensitivity to gender, race and ethnicity. This book
will be of use to academics and graduate students in Gerontology,
Family Studies, IO psychology, Gender Studies and Sociology.
