Beskrivning
The need for paid care workers to provide professional, good quality care for those needing daily support continues to grow throughout the world. This book explores the recent experiences of diverse paid care workers in four very different national contexts – Finland, Canada, South Africa and England – to learn from their experiences during COVID-19 and its aftermath. Drawing on care workers’ own perspectives, this book shows how recruitment and retention of paid care workers remains challenging due to the pandemic and demographic changes, their precarious labour market position, low pay and the difficulties of delivering care.

Recensioner i media

“Cross-national comparisons of care work are intelligently discussed in this readable book. Common themes abound around vulnerability, invisibility and policy makers' short-lived interest.” Jill Manthorpe CBE, The Policy Institute, King's College London
