  • More about A Care Crisis in the Nordic Welfare States?: Care Work, Gender Equality and Welfare State Sustainability


Neoliberal policies and ideology have had a significant impact on the status of care work in Nordic countries, with challenges including technologies, management, and policy-making. This book explores the care crisis, its consequences for gender equality, and the sustainability of the Nordic welfare states, offering insights into wider international issues in care.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 218 pages
Publication date: 09 May 2023
Publisher: Bristol University Press


Neoliberal policies and ideology have had a significant impact on the status of care work in Nordic countries, with new research perspectives and empirical analyses assessing challenges for care work including technologies, management, and policy-making. The book argues that there is a care crisis even in the supposedly feminist Nordic 'nirvana' and explores understandings of the care crisis, the serious consequences for gender equality, and the hitherto neglected effects on the long-term sustainability of the Nordic welfare states. It provides insights into what the Nordic experience can tell us about wider international issues in care.
