“…Lack of time was reflected in mental stress, fatigue and fewer hours of sleep. The same study also observed an intergenerational transfer of care work to adolescent girls and older women who were responsible for providing UCDW to their households without men's involvement, reflecting what other studies have also observed in the context of Zimbabwe (Makina, 2009), the Philippines and Uganda (Rost and Koissy-Kpein, 2017) and Haiti (Roelen et al, 2019).…”

“…The studies reviewed above also defy the Western conceptualisation of childhood as a labour-free period of learning and play, differing from the perceptions and 'normal' expectations of childhood in the Global South (Evans, 2010;Crivello and Espinoza Revollo, 2018;Makina, 2009;Abebe and Kjørholt, 2009;Robson, 2004;Evans and Skovdal, 2016). In addition, children's roles sometimes transcend adult expectations of childhood and the adult-child divide (Lim and Roche, 2000).…”

“…As we have sought to demonstrate through the review of the available evidence, the application of a child lens to researching social reproduction issues recognises that care and domestic work is a complex social, economic and political process involving relations, interdependency and gendered and intergenerational mutuality, encompassing adults and children alike, albeit in different degrees. Through such a lens, research on care and domestic work can expand and complement the scholarship on care and domestic work and social reproduction by acknowledging children's roles in these activities, and their evolving capacities, rights, aspirations and autonomy (Crivello and Espinoza Revollo, 2018;Makina, 2009).…”

Care and domestic work have gained attention in the global policy discourse, particularly following feminist research and activism showing its burden for women. However, these debates and political demands have generally overlooked children's contribution to social reproduction within and beyond the household. Empirical evidence shows that many children assume care and domestic responsibilities from an early age, with an increasingly gendered pattern as they grow. While such work can provide a learning opportunity, the time, energy and emotional labour put into it can be detrimental to their wellbeing. In this article, we review the empirical evidence on children's care and domestic work in developing countries, and argue that understanding children's roles in these tasks can complement the existing social reproduction scholarship, uncovering the intra-household and intergenerational distribution of care and domestic responsibilities, its determinants and effects on child wellbeing. We conclude by noting key conceptual and evidence gaps, and suggesting future research directions.

“…It is estimated that approximately three-quarters of the population require care or financial support of some kind (Seekings & Moore, 2013). Not only has HIV/AIDS exacerbated care concerns, but also conditions of poverty, an increase in female labour force participation and minimal state infrastructure for those in need of care have contributed to what has been referred to as a 'care crisis' in South Africa (Lund, 2010;Makina, 2009).…”

This study examines predictors of work -care arrangements in South African organisations. It investigates the adoption of 23 work -care arrangements in organisations listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Organisational size, female presence in the organisation and in trade unions, female leadership and trade union density are tested as predictors of the adoption of these arrangements. In addition, foreign ownership, a previously untested variable predicting the adoption of work-care arrangements, is included in this study. The findings show that the level of adoption of work-care arrangements in South African organisations is low. Organisational size and female presence in senior managerial positions are found to be associated with the greater adoption of work-care arrangements. The study adds to existing work-family research by examining work-care integration in a non-Western context. Furthermore, the study is innovative in the addition of foreign ownership as an independent variable and the inclusion of a broader range of work -care arrangements in the study. The study is relevant for other developing nations and extends the existing research on employer involvement in work and care in developed nations.
