The Care Dilemma

Bag om The Care Dilemma

Family life has changed rapidly over the past 60 years. David Goodhart asks whether this transformation has been an unalloyed good. Increased opportunities for women, greater freedom and autonomy, and a more equal domestic sphere have brought considerable benefits. However, argues Goodhart, there have been losses as well as gains: liberal trends have produced negative consequences in family breakdown, children's mental health, and the undervaluing of care. Falling birthrates also present major demographic and social challenges. The costs fall disproportionately on the working poor and left-behind 'somewheres', and, for many, are starting to outweigh the benefits. We need a new policy settlement that supports gender equality while also recognising the importance of stable families and community life. No-one interested in the biggest social and political challenges facing us can afford to miss this game-changing contribution from one of our most incisive and iconoclastic commentators.
