1 Introduction
In Roskilde and Rome, and in Beijing, Berlin and Brussels, struggles about elderly care are taking place. The issues around which these struggles are many: Who should we care for? What is ‘proper care’ and how should it be regulated? Who should provide the care? And what kind of working conditions should caregivers endure? By struggles I refer to clashes at the individual and collective levels—not involving violence or weapons—that may stem from disagreements, tensions between social processes, discourses and between different policy goals and different logics in care practices and resistance to existing discourses by individuals, groups and/or social movements.
