Rethinking Care in a Development Context
This book offers a signpost to help clarify our ideas on caring for the world in the twenty-first century. Headed by a veteran Senior Researcher, contributors from a wide range of backgrounds extend our understanding of the care economy in the developing world at a moment when existing systems are under strain and new ideas are coming into focus.
Contributors analyze the care economy in the developing world, at a moment when existing systems are under strain and new ideas are coming into focus. * Offers the first global, regionally diverse study of the "invisible economy" of care, including case studies from diverse regional contexts of Africa, Asia and Latin America * Frames the debate on care and highlights policy experimentation and ideas currently in flux * Includes new research and data on developing countries, showing how, where care options for the socially disadvantaged are limited, failing to socialize the costs of care exacerbates existing inequalities * Comes at a moment when, if not yet marked by a generalized care crisis, the world's existing systems are under strain and in need of rethinking * Features introductory chapters that set out the conceptual framework and findings on individual country studies, and a concluding chapter that draws out the transnational dimensions of care
