Abstract [en]

The concept of care, like that of work, is very broad and multifaceted. It can refer to many different forms of care: physical, psychological, social and spiritual. Care can also refer to organized systems of care, for example health care, social care, institutional care and home care. Care can be conceptualized both as work, in terms of care work conducted, and as more than work alone, as in care for others, one’s or others’ children and other dependents, as well as for oneself. According to Tronto (2013), care can entail: caring about; taking care of; giving care; receiving care; caring with, as with solidarity. Care can thus be used more widely still to refer to care for animals, non-humans, the environment and the planet.
