What if care was at the heart of how we organise our societies and economies? This timely book challenges the narrow focus of current leave policies on early parenthood and argues for a broader, more inclusive, approach to care across the life course, including eldercare and diverse family structures.

Care Leaves and Care Time for All by Peter Moss and Andrea Doucet offers a visionary perspective, opening up conversations about how we can better integrate care into societal frameworks. By expanding the discussion beyond early parenting, the authors present a compelling case for policy change that recognises and supports care in all its forms throughout one's life.
