Abstract:

This book presents a collection of essays examining the problems of defining, measuring, and valuing the unpaid informal provision of care to children, working age adults with impairments, and the elderly in private households. Though the authors primarily engage with time use data collected in Australia, Canada, Finland, and the USA, the book also presents analysis of a variety of data sources. Chapters cover both theoretical issues and implications for public policy.
