Individualising Risk

More about the book

Focusing on the transformation of paid care work within the gig economy, the book examines the implications of individualised care policies, particularly in the context of Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme. It highlights the shift towards treating care as a consumer service, revealing the risks faced by frontline workers due to inadequate labor laws. By integrating sociological, political, and legal perspectives, the author calls for a critical reassessment of care policies and advocates for new regulations to safeguard workers in various employment scenarios.
