But the costs of providing care are unequally borne across gender and social class. Feminist scholarship on the gendered construction of welfare provisioning and welfare regimes has produced a conceptually strong and empirically grounded analysis of care, reinforcing the necessity of rethinking the distinctions between ""the public"" and ""the private"" as well as the links between them Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record SUBJECT Care gnd Coburger Sozialdienst gnd Subject Social service -- Case studies Caregivers -- Case studies POLITICAL SCIENCE -- Public Policy -- Social Services & Welfare.
