Abstract

In 'Part-Time for All', Jennifer Nedelsky and Tom Malleson propose a plan to radically restructure both work and care and offer a solution to a fundamentally dysfunctional imbalance of work and care obligations. They argue that no competent adult should do paid work for more than 30 hours per week, and everyone should also contribute roughly 22 hours of unpaid care to family, friends, or their chosen community of care. While such a transformation would require radical changes to our cultural norms as well as to our workplace practices, this book carefully dissects the current crisis of care and offers a realistic plan forward.
