This book investigates how paid care work and employment are being
transformed by policies of social care individualisation in the
context of new gig economies of care. Drawing on a case study of the
creation of a new individualised care market under Australia’s
National Disability Insurance Scheme the book provides important
insights into possible futures for social care employment where care
is treated as an individual consumer service. Bringing together
sociological, political science and socio-legal approaches the book
demonstrates how, in individualised care markets and with ineffective
labour laws, risks of business and employment are devolved to
frontline care workers. The book argues for an urgent re-evaluation of
current policy approaches to care and for new regulatory approaches to
protect workers in diverse forms of employment.
