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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781447361350\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44264114290938,"sku":"9781447361350","price":25.61,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1684510126810_book.jpg?v=1685704084","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/a-care-crisis-in-the-nordic-welfare-states-care-work-gender-equality-and-welfare-state-sustainability-9781447361350","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
