Many of us will do care work at some point in our lives. If you are responsible for someone else’s wellbeing, whether personally, professionally, or communally, you are a care worker. If you have had your own wellbeing tended to by someone else, you have benefited from care work. So, with such a broad definition, what falls under the umbrella of care work? In this episode, Alida goes solo for the first time to explain what is considered care work, why isolated and smaller communities experience higher forms of burnout, and how your social identities influence your relationship to care.
Topics you’ll learn about, including:
- The five elements involved in care work
- How burnout easily affects everyone who does care work
- How gendered roles in care work are seen as “woman’s work”
