Summary

This article reviews the history of income support for carers from the 1980s until present, finding that within this, paid work has been prioritised over care. Furthermore, findings show that gender inequality has not been considered in income support for carers and the authors urge for this to be addressed to reduce the competing demands on women to participate in paid work and care.
