The New Labor Movement Fighting for Domestic Workers’ Rights

“By 2030, Poo says, care workers — nannies and health aides together — will be the biggest work force in the U.S. Some scholars are predicting that, by then, the nation’s demand for domestic work will have grown so quickly that it will face a shortfall of nearly four million paid and unpaid caregivers. If we continue to neglect the women doing these jobs, Poo argues, we will struggle to find quality care for our aging parents and grandparents and our children.”
