Care work refers to activities that meet the physical, emotional, and developmental needs of others and to feelings of affection, concern, or responsibility toward those receiving care.[1][2] It may be performed for pay or without remuneration and takes place both within households and through institutions such as schools, hospitals, and child care centers.[3][4] Paid care occurs in formal employment settings, while unpaid care is typically carried out within families and communities, and households often combine both forms.[5] Care work may be direct, involving face-to-face interaction, or indirect, consisting of tasks that sustain the conditions under which care is provided.[6][7] Care work Wood engraving of a woman holding a child while another woman touches it tenderly <
