We are delighted to welcome three esteemed guests to Care Matters; Professor Nancy Folbre, Dr Naomi Lightman and Professor Shereen Hussein. In this episode, hosted by Dr Duncan Fisher, our guests discuss the devaluation and underpayment of care work.
Drawing on experiences from the USA, Canada and the UK, they consider the challenges of assigning value to care, emphasising social, cultural and intergenerational dimensions.
