Abstract

|
This study focused on the unfair disposition of care responsibility, so-called the “injustice of care” surrounding “caring alone” through the experiences of parental care of unmarried daughters. For the study, a qualitative study was conducted based on in-depth interviews of 14 unmarried women with parental care experience. The results of the study urged social reflection by revealing the unjust reality surrounding caring as follows: First, the process in which the responsibility of parental care is unfairly and unequally distributed to unmarried daughters within the family; Second, the reality of family caregivers becoming increasingly vulnerable by being forgotten, isolated, and excluded from the family and society after taking responsibility for care; And third, the problem of insufficient social care that does not receive adequate social support. Furthermore, based on the reflection of the person who has experienced unfair “caring alone,” the meaning of caring is revealed, and a caring solidarity plan for caring democracy that takes responsibility and caring together was proposed.
Specific policy measures include support for care management, support for family carers, establishment of a social system that allows individual selection of life cycle work-life balance, and the necessity of politics of allocating time resources.
