| Abstract: |
In this chapter we cut through the voluminous scholarship on care to focus on the role of the state. With this lens, the overall aim of the chapter is to outline the main trajectory of the concept and its potential as an analytic framework for future research. While care is now a widely-used term and concept, it is important to clarify its meaning and core references. For the purposes of this chapter, care refers to the labour, resources and relations involved in meeting the needs of those requiring assistance and help because of age illness or frailty of some kind. This understanding encompasses care for both children and adults, and it covers both the persons receiving care and those providing it. Care has arguably been one of the most original concepts in gender, welfare state and social policy studies, especially in the sense of a concept emerging from practices and relations in real life. The associated scholarship is vibrant and diverse as well as being solidly comparative and increasingly global. |
