The Labour Crisis in Long-term Care
Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-0353-4029-3 (ISBN)
Focusing on different dominant strategies, chapter authors analyze how innovative approaches might be employed to reorganize, retain, reduce, replace, and recruit workers. They assess each strategy in terms of promoting the right to care and explore limitations on the right to access quality care services and the right to provide quality long-term care. Ultimately, they argue that the conditions of work are the conditions of care, conditions that include the overall structures, policies and practices that shape the work and care.
The Labour Crisis in Long-term Care is a thought-provoking book that will appeal to students and researchers in health services, aging, labour policy, sociology of work and social work. Managers, researchers and leaders in health care and health policy decision-makers will also benefit from this important resource.
