Carework research and policy focus on the caring work of individuals, families, communities, paid caregivers, social service agencies, and state bureaucracies, and ask important questions about such matters as:
- how women's labor force participation has affected the nature & scope of women's and men's caring work;
- how identities influence carework;
- how inequality based on gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, and other factors relates to caring;
- how caring work is recognized and compensated;
- how various state welfare policies the distribution of carework;
- and whether and to what extent citizens have a right to receive, and a duty to provide, care.
