Vulnerabilities in Paid Care Work: Transnational Experiences, Insights and Voices

English

The need for paid care workers to provide professional, good quality care for those needing daily support continues to grow throughout the world.

This book explores the recent experiences of diverse paid care workers in four very different national contexts Finland, Canada, South Africa and England to learn from their experiences during COVID-19 and its aftermath. Drawing on care workers own perspectives, this book shows how recruitment and retention of paid care workers remains challenging due to the pandemic and demographic changes, their precarious labour market position, low pay and the difficulties of delivering care.
