| dc.description.abstract | Feminist economists have critiqued neoclassical economics' narrow conceptualisation of social interactions as equivalent or analogous to exchanges in markets and have argued that economics needs to be about the provisioning of human life across all sectors of the economy. Qualitative data from nurses working in residential aged care is used to examine the non-commodified element in nurses' work and how they are engaged in provisioning across paid and unpaid work. In view of the current nursing shortage, I argue that the current Commonwealth policy of providing a bonus to attract nurses back into the workforce is unlikely to be successful long-term as it takes no account of the conditions and constraints under which nurses supply their labour. | |
