Politics, the economy and society must adopt a new attitude, and social structures must be fundamentally reformed. Countless self-help books tell parents how to bring up their children better, how to juggle work and family life – but Mierau makes clear that this is not what we need to focus on. And yet both groups are often seen as inconveniences, and nursery workers and healthcare staff are poorly paid. Without children, there would be nobody to fund our pensions when we are old elderly people have laid the foundations for our current prosperity. But why is care often neglected as a fundamental value? In her new book, bestselling author Susanne Mierau writes about the importance of a good social contract. Without care children cannot grow up, ill people cannot get better, elderly people cannot grow old.
