Who Cares About the "Care Economy"? w. Ai-jen Poo

What this episode covers

Rosalynn Carter once said, “There are only four kinds of people in the world, people who are caregivers, or will be caregivers, people who need care or will need care.” This week, host Sarah Jones is joined by Ai-jen Poo, an award-winning organizer, author, the executive director of Caring Across Generations and president of the National Domestic Workers’ Alliance. Sarah and Ai-jen dive into the “care economy” and how we’re all part of it, even if we don’t know what it is. Whether the subject is childcare, elder care, or supporting the over 42 million Americans with disabilities, Ai-jen and Sarah pull back the curtain on why care is “the work that makes all other work possible.”
