Transforming Care Work within an Era of Changing Priorities of Care Policy

This thematic special issue of Transfer titled “Transforming Care Work within an Era of Changing Priorities of Care Policy” explores how policy, institutional and market-driven transformations of care regimes across Europe impact upon the quality of care services and the quality of care work. In the special issue, we bring together a range of national perspectives on changing models of care delivery and care work that spans Ireland, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the UK, complemented by a transnational analysis of EU healthcare policy. Although each contribution situates the specific challenges of precariousness in a particular institutional and market context, by collating these seven perspectives we see common challenges emerging for care workers in diverse settings including residential, domiciliary and long term care, public and private sectors, Liberal and Coordinated Market Economies, as well as Southern, Northern and Eastern Europe with varied traditions of formal and informal familial care.
