Abstract

In addition, through the reassessment of the importance of caregiving, women would not only be rewarded economically but also encouraged to feel proud of performing care work.[9] However, Van Parijs's claim that through the basic income the importance and value of care would become socially recognized differs from the position of care ethics. As a result, because care is a public value it is not enough to institutionalize the basic income, and there should be further focus on whether there are other initiatives that can respect and sustain care and care relationships, and promote the shared social responsibility to provide care. CARE ETHICS AND ITS POLICY IMPLICATION Care ethics has been presented as an alternative moral theory based on the undeniable human experience of the need for care and its value (Held 2006). The paper argues that the basic income does not constitute a sufficient response to the fact of universal human dependency and people's inevitable care needs, does not treat care as a public value to an adequate degree, and cannot adequately identify and address the structural inequalities of care produced by the current socioeconomic system.
