Calls to recalibrate the balance between paid and unpaid care have been evident since the 1990s. In the intervening years, the balance has shifted consistently in the opposite direction to that demanded by early commentators, leading to grossly exploitative and unsatisfactory conditions of care. In this unpromising context what potential exists for the development of equitable and effective relations between paid and unpaid care?
This question will be explored by Professor Liz Lloyd of Bristol University, who will discuss contemporary ideas that challenge the damaging legacy of policies and practices and suggest ways in which unpaid care might be reconceptualised as part of the social care system.
This hybrid event is part of Green Templeton’s long-running Care Initiative, led by Professor Mary Daly.
The in-person talk will be followed by a short drinks reception. The talk will also be streamed live as a Zoom webinar.
