The Financialisation of Care: Investment funds and the sustainability of UK care homes
Dr Amy Horton
University College London
Sustainable Care Research Associate, Patrick Hall comments:
“Dr Horton presents her research concerning the ownership of care home provision in England. She argues that the undervalued sector (residential and nursing care homes) has seen a process of ‘financialisation’ in line with broader trends in postindustrial nations. This process , she argues, is at odds with a feminist ethic of care and that the nature of care work is resistant to its processes of standardisation and de-personalisation.”
