The social organisation of care in Greece

Published: 29 July 2025
PUBLICATION
This book (language: Greek) is an introduction to the concept of care, a topic that is increasingly at the center of narratives, analyses, claims, and policy proposals. Furthermore, it explores aspects of how care is socially organised in Greece, focusing on the different roles of the state, the market, the community and the family, while aspiring to become part of a collective reflection and dialogue on the ways in which care is socially organized in Greece, but also on how we imagine an equal, just, and caring world.
