O objetivo deste artigo é identificar as condições para a construção de um direito a cuidar apto a contribuir para a promoção da igualdade de género, no contexto dos cuidados de longa duração (cuidados continuados). A primeira secção descreve a transformação da relação entre cuidado e género, à medida que a igualdade entre homens e mulheres se tornou um objetivo primordial das sociedades democráticas, e evidencia as tensões geradas por essa transformação, em particular, a “crise dos cuidados”. Por fim, elege-se como contexto de análise o domínio dos cuidados de longa duração (cuidados continuados) na Europa. Assim, a partir de uma revisão de estudos empíricos recentes sobre diferentes modelos de políticas públicas no domínio dos cuidados continuados em vários países da Europa, identificam-se as condições para a construção de um direito a cuidar apto a promover a igualdade de género.
This article aims to identify the conditions under which a right to care is likely to promote gender equality in the context of long-term care. The first section describes the transformations of the relationship between care and gender (as equality between men and women became a major goal of democratic societies). The second section stresses the tensions thus generated, especially the “care crisis”. Drawing on previous recent empirical studies on different public policy models in the domain of long-term care in various European Union countries, this article identifies the conditions under which a right to care is likely to promote gender equality.
