Når det finnes teorier om at omsorg er verdiløst, virker det uunngåelig at vi bør bruke minst mulig tid og ressurser på dette arbeidet, skriver Emma Holten i boka "Underskudd. Verdien av omsorg". Les utdrag fra boka her: agendamagasin.no/artikler/oms...

Omsorg er ikke et underskuddsprosjekt
Når omsorg ser ut som en utgift, fremstår man som økonomisk uansvarlig når man forsvarer den. Men slik er ikke virkeligheten.

Economic inactivity has many causes, but the term itself is biased, suggesting unpaid work doesn’t contribute to the economy. It’s essential to recognise that paid employment isn’t the only form of contribution and to value unpaid work for its vital role in supporting society and the economy.
