A Right to Care? Unpaid Care Work in European Employment Law

This item should be double-weighted on the following grounds: It is a 232 page sole-authored text which represents the culmination of research undertaken over several years. The writing up alone took 18 months. The study is multi-disciplinary and utilises economic, sociological and philosophical theory. In it I set out to discover whether the EU legal order has the potential to accommodate a specific right to provide unpaid care alongside the performance of paid work. This is a wholly original undertaking which involved the application of pre-existing labour law principles in an entirely novel, yet profoundly important and contemporary, context.
