The care crisis: a research priority for the pandemic era and beyond

Kate Huppatz and Lyn Craig

Chapter 9 in A Research Agenda for COVID-19 and Society, 2022, pp 139-154 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Focusing on two areas of care research - unpaid domestic labour and academic work - this chapter considers points at which the care deficit has been made most apparent or amplified by the coronavirus pandemic. The chapter unpacks the gendered dimensions to the care crisis and argues that family relationships and organisational cultures might mutually reinforce the care gap. Centring on the pandemic recovery but also reimagining our care relationships and infrastructures, recommendations are made for future research and advocacy to address the care deficit.
