Day in, day out, these responsibilities can involve both monotonous drudgery and untold rewards for those performing them, whether they are family members, friends, or paid workers. These are jobs that cannot be outsourced, because they involve the most intimate spaces of our everyday lives--our homes, our bodies, and our families. Mignon Duffy uses a historical and comparative approach to examine and critique the entire twentieth-century history of paid care work--including health care, education and child care, and social services--drawing on an in-depth analysis of U.S. Census data as well as a range of occupational histories. Making Care Count focuses on change and continuity in the social organization along with cultural construction of the labor of care and its relationship to gender, racial-ethnic, and class inequalities. Debunking popular understandings of how we came to be in a "care crisis," this book stands apart as an historical quantitative study in a literature crowded with contemporary, qualitative studies, proposing well-developed policy approaches that grow out of the theoretical and empirical arguments. 606 $aService industries workers$zUnited States 606 $aCaregivers$zUnited States 606 $aHousehold employees$zUnited States 606 $aSocial service$zUnited States 606 $aSexual division of labor$zUnited States 615 0$aService industries workers 615 0$aCaregivers 615 0$aHousehold employees 615 0$aSocial service 615 0$aSexual division of labor 676 $a331.7/6136210973 700 $aDuffy$b Mignon$01653942 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827850703321 996 $aMaking care count$94005476 997 $aUNINA
