This paper explores the concept of care as a socialisation goal for school-age children among contemporary Chinese parents. Data was generated from interviews with parents from rural and urban families in Nanjing, China in 2011– 2012. Parents' spontaneous remarks on care revealed how today's Chinese parents highlighted childcare as parental responsibilities, cultivated children's self-care skills, and promoted children's other-caring qualities. In so doing, parents attempted to motivate concurrent and future elder care, improve children's social competence, and inspire altruistic other-care in their children. Although Chinese parents' imagination of care is largely centralised within the family due to sociocultural contexts such as the culture of intensive parenthood, China's care deficiency in a neoliberal economy, and the One-Child Policy, Chinese parents also aspired instilling other-caring qualities in their children.

This article reviews initial findings from an Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute [AHURI]-funded research project examining housing outcomes among Australian young people who have been in state out-of-home care. Our findings suggest a linkage between incidents of in-care abuse and poor postcare housing outcomes among our research participants, including primary homelessness. Not attending school when leaving care was also highly associated with having experienced in-care abuse. The authors postulate that adverse in-care experiences may have contributed to poor postcare housing outcomes among the research participants; and this article raises a number of specific concerns related to neglect, abuse and assault while in care. It is also argued that support in the transition from care needs to be strengthened to mitigate poor post-care outcomes, as does accountability for in-care adversities.

A steady flow of efficiency and effectiveness-focused Managed Care articles in recent months have prompted the launch of this special edition. Managed Care services are one-stop healthcare provider networks, such as Health Maintenance and Preferred Provider Organizations (HMO and PPO). Financial control and service quality as well as practice regulation and shared risk taking are important considerations in these organizations. This poses the question that even if Managed Care regulators keep service quality on the front burner and finances aren't allowed to dominate then is there a risk that

This case study gives an example of an integrated intermediate care service providing short‐term, intensive support and assistance combined with the facilities and services offered by extra care sheltered housing. The service is located in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.

En dépit d'une littérature abondante, savons-nous véritablement ce qu'est le care ? Dans cet extrait de son célèbre ouvrage Moral Boundaries, l'auteure le définit à la fois comme un système de dispositions bienveillantes et comme une pratique concrète. Si le care implique de déterminer qui doit prendre soin de quoi et ce que signifie une telle responsabilité, est-il nécessairement limité à nos relations les plus intimes ? Pourquoi cette dimension fondamentale de la vie humaine a-t-elle été placée hors du domaine de la raison, confinée dans la sphère privée, cette sphère où les femmes et l'ensemble des personnes dépourvues de pouvoir ont été reléguées ? L'auteure répond à ces interrogations en développant une double argumentation : critique, d'une part, en pointant les effets négatifs du tracé dominant des frontières morales ; constructive, d'autre part, en développant une éthique du care visant à corriger et à redessiner ces frontières.

We adapt the concept of the 'consumption ensemble' to capture the nuanced collaborations between actors in the provision and receipt of home care. Data were from a ten-year study of home care clients, family carers and workers in selected Canadian provinces. Using the lens of the 'ensemble', we analysed interviews with 24 dyads (carers and clients) and reviewed findings of our previously published research. Evidence of agency as collective endeavour supporting client autonomy and of improvisation in the ensemble informed a revision of our previous interactive model of care, emphasising the bidirectional nature of care relationships.
