Caring On The Clock: The Complexities And Contradictions Of Paid Care Work (Families In Focus)

Caring on the Clock is the first book to bring together cutting-edge research on a wide range of paid care occupations, placing the various studies within a comprehensive and comparative framework. The book includes twenty-two original essays by leading researchers across a range of disciplines--including sociology, psychology, social work, and public health--and provides a wealth of insight into these workers, who take care of our most fundamental needs, often at risk to their own economic and physical well-being.
