Caring on the Clock

The Complexities and Contradictions of Paid Care Work

Herausgeber: Duffy, Mignon; Stacey, Clare L; Armenia, Amy

Beschreibung

A nurse inserts an I.V. A personal care attendant helps a quadriplegic bathe and get dressed. A nanny reads a bedtime story to soothe a child to sleep. Every day, workers like these provide critical support to some of the most vulnerable members of society. Caring on the Clock provides a wealth of insight into these workers, who take care of our most fundamental needs, often at risk to their own economic and physical well-being.
