Series: Transforming Care

The COVID-19 pandemic has made unpaid care more visible through its absence, while also increasing the need for it.

Drawing on a range of research projects covering Canada, Germany, Norway, Sweden, the UK and the US, this book documents a broad spectrum of unpaid work performed by residents, relatives, volunteers and staff in nursing homes.

It demonstrates how boundaries between paid and unpaid work are flexible, varying considerably with conditions, time, place and intersectional populations.

By examining the complex labour process within nursing homes, this book provides insight and understanding which will be critical in planning for nursing home care post-pandemic.

Reviews for Unpaid Work in Nursing Homes: Flexible Boundaries

"""This groundbreaking study of unpaid care - defined as work, labour and/or love - provides a much-needed challenge to neoliberalism's assumption that care consists of packages of time-limited, unskilled tasks."" Hilary Land, University of Bristol"
