ABSTRACT
Care Work in Europe: current understandings and future directions is the title of a research study undertaken in six European countries. The study was funded by the European Commission and took place between 2001 and 2005. This book offers findings, reflections, conclusions and questions raised by a study that was border crossing, complex and provoking, and went to the heart of one of the most important issues confronting affluent post-industrial societies – who will do the caring, under what conditions and what will this care work entail?
