“…The development of formal care in many countries over the past decades has given rise to a process of defamilization and the replacement of informal care within the family by care within institutions (1). This process had several aims, one of which was to reduce the housework burden of women and to strengthen individuals' independence from their family; at the same time, the role and responsibilities of the welfare state increased in the field of care for older adults.…”

SUMMARYAim: The problem of family care for people dependent on another person has only recently become a focus of research. As demand for health and social services has not been adequately met by public service providers, growing attention has been given to informal care and the integration of families within systems of health and social care at the community level. This paper presents the results of a survey on informal carers' views and opinions under the current conditions of social support in the Czech Republic. The survey was based on theoretical concepts of caring societies, deinstitutionalization, refamilization, and integrated community care, and aimed to shed light on caring families' experiences and needs in the Czech Republic.Methods: Family lay carers completed an original self-administered questionnaire. A convenient sample of 200 family carers was selected.Results: The survey collected information about the most influential factors in determining whether the families continue to provide care for their relatives in the household. More than 50% of the caregivers provide care from moral and emotional reasons. Financial problems, risk of losing their jobs, and further deterioration of health of the person they care for emerged as key risk factors, but overall, determination among carers to continue providing care "at any cost" was high (53%).Conclusions: Involving local communities and services, e.g. general practitioners (GPs) to a greater extent in the coordination of various social and health services, and in support mechanisms at the juncture between informal and formal care would make it easier for family carers to continue providing long-term care.

“…Care is not provided by the family alone, but supported adequately by an integrated system of health and social services. This change of perspective has been called refamilization (1,8). Another related theoretical concept is that of the person-centred continuum of care (9).…”

“…Historiquement, les personnes associées à la sphère privée, les femmes, les enfants et les domestiques, ont donc été longtemps (ou sont encore) exclues de la citoyenneté (Glenn, 2000 ;Lamoureux, 1996). La notion libé-rale de la citoyenneté définit les citoyens comme des personnes libres et autonomes ayant des responsabilités et des droits égaux.…”

Cet article aborde la question de la rémunération des personnes qui prennent soin d’un proche ayant des incapacités. Il est organisé autour d’une série de recadrages théoriques et de prémisses qui évitent le piège de la dichotomisation traditionnelle entre le privé et le public, entre l’espace de la famille et l’espace de la culture. En proposant les soins comme un droit de citoyenneté, il offre une tierce voie de réflexion qui permet d’entrevoir et de permettre la tenue d’un débat de société sur cette question déterminante pour la situation des femmes.This article tackles the question of payment for the care assumed by family and friends of persons with disabilities. It is organized around a series of theoretical reframings and premisses which avoid the trap of traditional dichotomizing between public and private, family space and cultural space. By proposing care as a right of citizenship, it offers a third area of reflection which opens the door to a social debate on this question which is determinant with regard to the situation of women

“…people) is inherently devalued, both culturally and economically, because of its association with women (see England 2005). In turn, although men's work is seen as deserving of citizenship rights (Glenn 2000), women's involvement in caring (particularly in the private sphere) has been neglected or even disregarded, with the result that their citizenship rights have not received the same state recognition (Abraham et al 2010). Yet, whilst some feminists have called for the inclusion of care as a basis for gendered citizenship (for example, Knijn and Kremer 1997), others have cautioned that identifying care as primarily women's responsibility perpetuates this gendered division of labour (see Pateman 1992, Lister 1999.…”

‘Can't cook, won't cook’: men's involvement in cooking when their wives develop dementia

The division of household labour in heterosexual couples continues to be unequal, indicating that gender inequality persists in the domestic sphere. Yet, although there is a lack of gender equity in housework, this is less clear-cut in terms of cooking. This paper explores whether men are willing to cook when their wives develop dementia. The paper presents findings from a qualitative study in England (funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)), which explored the everyday decisions made by married couples when one partner had dementia. The author examines the division of labour within the couples and identifies whether women exercised choice and control over who did the cooking. Although research into dementia usually focuses on the social competence of people with dementia (as determined by their carers), this study explored the domestic competence of both spouses, particularly husbands who were carers. It was found that men are often unable or unwilling to cook when their wives develop dementia or, alternatively, they take over cooking altogether, thereby excluding their wives from a task they enjoy. Gendered patterns of authority or control were apparent in the couples' decision-making dynamics, indicating that gender inequality in relationships persists even when women develop dementia.
