This study explores the impacts of neoliberal politics and ideology on the status of care work in Nordic countries. Academic experts explore understandings of the care crisis, address the consequences for gender equality and the long-term sustainability of the Nordic welfare states. In this insightful collection, academic experts consider the impact of neoliberal policies and ideology on the status of care work in Nordic countries. With new research perspectives and empirical analyses, it assesses challenges for care work including technologies, management and policy making. Arguing that there is a care crisis even in the supposedly feminist Nordic ' Nirvana' , this book explores understandings of the care crisis, the serious consequences for gender equality and the hitherto neglected effects on the long-term sustainability of the Nordic welfare states. This astute take on the Nordic welfare model, provides insights into what the Nordic experience can tell us about wider international issues in care.
