Caring for a Living

Migrant Women, Aging Citizens, and Italian Families

Beschreibung

The world is aging at a great speed. While this is a remarkable achievement, aging also brings new challenges, among them a growing need for long-term care. Caring for a Living specifically investigates Italy's employment of home eldercare assistance, an arrangement whereby long term care services are bought in the market in the form of private and individualized assistance - predominantly female immigrants.
