A dark blue quote card with large, light blue quote marks at the top and the quote "You can’t extract justice from a system designed for profit. You have to build something rooted in care." attributed to Lawrence Nault

What if our economy protected what we love instead of harming it?
It’s time for systems that honour life.

🧵4️⃣ But here’s where it gets global.

🔁 This isn’t just a German problem.

The same dynamics—poor work conditions, perverse incentives, aging societies—are hitting many developed economies. Gen Z isn’t lazy; they’re reacting rationally to a system that’s no longer delivering.

The real question: Do we need more work, or better lives?

"Care is a principle, not just a sub-sector of the economy, not something that we wave around to try and claim the moral high ground for, but a principle. And the basis of that principle is restorative."—@ProfTimJackson

Unpaid Care Work: The Invisible Pillar of Latin America’s Economy:

In Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), unpaid care work—done predominantly by women—accounts for 15-24% of regional GDP. Yet, this labor remains unrecognized, reinforcing gender inequality. Let’s unpack this.

📌 Key issues:
- Women in LAC spend 3x more hours on care than men, limiting their economic autonomy.
- Lack of childcare, elder care, and clean water access deepens poverty among women.

🔄 Progress & gaps:
- Uruguay’s National Care System: State-supported childcare and elder care.
- Costa Rica: Linking care policies to women’s workforce inclusion.
- Structural barriers: Patriarchal norms in rural/Indigenous communities hinder change.

⚠️ Critical debates:
1. Funding care infrastructure: Progressive taxes vs. budget reallocations?
2. Cultural shifts: How to engage men as caregivers in machismo-driven societies?

💬 Your take:
- What policies should prioritize care in your country?
- How can we redefine “care” as a collective responsibility?

Food for thought: Sweden achieves 90% paternal leave uptake. What would it take for LAC to replicate this?

Maintenance and Care are an integral part of #SolarPunk. We need to get rid of consumerism and build caring and maintaining cities and societies instead. https://placesjournal.org/article/maintenance-and-care/ #RightToRepair #RiotToRepair #CareWork #CareEconomy

@luca @eskensaskia hier liegt ein Denkfehler vor.
#CareEconomy hat ganz unterschiedliche Pfade.Wir haben hier deutlich weniger Vorhersehbarkeit,deutlich komplexere Vernetzung und Outcomes können nicht durch binäre Größen definiert werden.
mMn ist das der Zentralpunkt,wenn es um Carekrise geht.
Wir versuchen soziale Traits in industrielles Korsett zu pressen.
