Nancy Folbre and Julie Nelson study the shift from non‐market to market labour in the
contemporary society, of the United States of America (US). The consequences are far
reaching with regard to social care, economics and the link between the consequences
of women shifting from family and social relationship building to paid labour in the
market. The authors see this as a change in the “social contract”. The move of women,
previously responsible for the “emotional” dimension of society (child care, social
relationships, homemakers), from their traditional roles to paid jobs in the market is the
underlying issue and they describe it in a trite and dynamic phrase – “For Love or For
Money”. |
