Care Leaves and Care Time for All

Towards Caring Democracies, Economies, and Worlds

Available Open Access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.

What if care was at the heart of how we organise our societies and economies? This timely book explores how care leave policies can help build and sustain caring democracies, economies and worlds.

Bringing together international research and policy analysis – and inspired by the work of Joan Tronto and other leading care thinkers – Care Leaves and Care Time for All offers a bold, yet modest, proposal for transforming care leave policies. It reimagines paid care leaves as universal social entitlements across the life course providing care time for children and elders, for self and others, and for our social and ecological worlds.

Amid growing care crises and other interconnected socio-economic and environmental challenges, this book issues an urgent call for a ‘global political awakening’ – one that centres and supports care giving, care receiving and care time for all.
