Care Work in Crisis : Reclaiming the Nordic Ethos of Care
Year: 2008
Type: book
Abstract: Welfare policies in the Nordic countries have been restructured, due to economic and demographic constraints, and claims for efficiency, but also with respect to the competence required. The authors discuss the crisis in care work, its recruitment problems, educational models and care work cultures. They show that values and the ethos of welfare policy affect the care for both the clients and the workers. This book is of interest to students, researchers, professionals, and policymakers.
