Care work is in crisis. Transformation researcher Andrea Vetter says there's another way! Mia Smettan talks with her about why care work, both in private and professional contexts, often takes place under very precarious conditions and why care work must be placed at the center of economic activity. This episode also covers radical self-care in eastern Brandenburg, daycare vouchers in Berlin, and composting toilets.
