Synopsis

Restructuring Caring Labour is a collection of essays that together take two disparate areas, economic restructuring and caring labour, and attempts to map out how the macro processes of economic restructuring are experienced by women at the micro level in terms of the increased labour and costs that they carry in relation to their care of others-children, spouses, aging parents, and extended families alike. Each of the pieces in this collection examines the changing social conditions that shape the different types of paid and unpaid work that women do. As well, the papers share an analytic framework: to document how economic and social restructuring affects the responsibilities that women carry for caring for others. The arguments made by the volume as a whole, therefore, are both original and groundbreaking. The book is written from a feminist perspective and integrates race and class as well as gender.
