Thanks Victoria! An insightful interview. Strongly agree with the following:

'Care work has historically been undervalued as work, and it's been historically underpaid. It's, therefore, also historically been given over to people who aren't of very high status in society: women, slaves, servants, and working-class people.'

We need a complete recalibration in how we perceive work and the value we attach to it.

Victoria, thank you for sharing this interview. It’s important to see how caring became low-status, poorly paid work once it moved out of the home. Things weren’t always this way.
