Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. What are the realities of community care the unpaid care given by hundreds of thousands of women, often in their own homes for children and adults who are handicapped or chronically sick, or for frail elderly people? Originally published in 1983, this book explores the experiences of such women and the dilemmas which caring poses for them. At a time when most women needed to earn money from a paid job, how did carers manage to juggle their caring and other domestic responsibilities, and what happened if they had to give up work?Against a background of government policies which favour care by the community, the contributors to this book raise crucial issues for social and economic policy. Hilary Graham examines what caring really means and Clare Ungerson asks why women do it. Sally Baldwin and Caroline Glendinning focus on mothers with handicapped children and Fay Wright on single adults with elderly dependants. Alan Walker highlights the dependencies implicit in caring relationships with the elderly. Lesley Rimmer looks at the economic costs of care, and Dulcie Groves and Janet Finch examine the invalid care allowance a carers benefit for which married women can never qualify.In exploring the domestic sector of welfare, A Labour of Love was a highly topical contribution to the debate both on welfare provision and on the division of labour between men and women at the time. What are the realities of community care the unpaid care given by hundreds of thousands of women, for children and adults who are handicapped or chronically sick, or for frail elderly people? First published in 1983, this book explores the experiences of such women and the dilemmas which caring poses for them.
