Journal Article
A looming dystopia: Feminism, aging, and community-based long-term care
2013
Overview
Old age often brings with it chronic conditions that make it difficult to handle the activities of daily life. In the United States, unpaid family caregivers, predominantly women, provide most of this care. I explore why this situation has come about and persists and further ground my image of a dystopian future in neoliberalism, the policymaking process, and contemporary politics. I then offer an ethical and policy foundation for an alternative approach to providing needed long-term care services and make provisional suggestions for actions that ought to be taken now and in the near future to avoid this dystopian future.
