Summary:

Care work is at once omnipresent and invisible, encompassing all forms of socially necessary or reproductive labour: raising children, cooking, cleaning, looking after the elderly or ill, and more. Yet, although care work allows and sustains productive labour, including architecture, it is usually unpaid and ignored. That care work falls disproportionately on women and unevenly along racial and class divides is indisputable. Demographic changes, environmental crises, growing mobility, transformations of labour, and the reconfiguration of traditional care institutions have therefore made the inequity of care a key issue in architectural debates, some of which are addressed in this volume.
