When Emily Kenway found herself in the agonizing role of caring for her cancer-stricken mother, her life was forever altered. Although she was lonely, she was far from alone: millions of people around the world are quietly caring for unwell, elderly, or disabled loved ones. For many, this is a full-time job, saving economies billions. However, the human cost remains largely ignored.
Why are caregivers predominantly women? As families shrink, how can we provide care? Can care robots be the answer? And what does death anxiety have to do with all this? Through rigorous investigation, "Who Cares" asks vital questions about why we have a care crisis at both a global and individual level.
Deftly blending memoir with forensic research and the voices of caregivers from as far afield as Norway, Nepal, and Nebraska, "Who Cares" is an essential read for anyone who has ever cared for, or will receive care from, another person - which is to say, for everyone.
