Book Synopsis Cash for Care Systems in Developed Welfare States by : Clare Ungerson
Book excerpt: This unique project explores one of the increasingly popular policies for long-term care: the provision to care users of cash, rather than services so that they can employ their own caring labour directly. The authors are scholars from Austria, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the USA and the United Kingdom in the fields of social policy and gerontology. The book includes introductory and concluding chapters by the editors, which develop new theories of care commodification and present a comparative overview of these important policy trends.
