| Description | The book Care for Sale: How Labours of Love Turn into Paid Service examines the newly emerging market for care and domestic work in the Czech Republic. In this market, clients can buy various services that in the Czech Republic are still more often seen as part of the private sphere and as services that should be performed unpaid, for love: child care, elder care, domestic work, small repair services, and pet care. Although the book was written as a contribution to recent international sociological and anthropological research, it is aimed at the wider public, for those readers interested in how labours of love turn into paid service and what to expect when using such services. |
