abstract: 'China''s economic reforms over the past three decades have dramatically
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
changed the mechanisms for allocating goods and labour in both market
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and non-market spheres. This article examines the social and economic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
trends that intensify the pressure on the care economy, and on women in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
particular in playing their dual roles as care givers and income earners
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in post-reform China. The analysis sheds light on three critical but
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
neglected issues. How does the reform process reshape the institutional
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
arrangements of care for children and elders? How does the changing care
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economy affect women''s choices between paid work and unpaid care
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
responsibilities? And what are the implications of women''s work-family
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conflicts for the well-being of women and their families? The authors
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
call for a gendered approach to both social and labour market policies,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with investments in support of social reproduction services so as to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ease the pressures on women.'
