Abstract

The article "Care work and the family in capitalism" discusses the historical and contemporary role of care work within the family structure under capitalism. It explores how care tasks, traditionally performed by women, are essential for the reproduction of labor power as a commodity. The text delves into the socialization of care work, the privatization of labor within the family, and the gendered division of caregiving responsibilities. Additionally, it highlights the evolving nature of care work in response to changes in the organization of work in society. [Extracted from the article]
