The Paradox of Care

This analyzes the paradoxical situation where everyone wants care but no one wants to provide it. Furthermore, it presents the ethics of care necessary for a ‘together-care’ society where everyone cares for everyone. The author points out that entrusting care to vulnerable low-wage workers, such as Filipino care workers, ultimately lowers the quality of care. Therefore, a fundamental solution that restores the status of care and emphasizes the ethics of care is necessary. (Written by Kim Junhyuk / Eunhaengnamu)
