Abstract
Globally, life expectancy is increasing, as is the need for effective care responses to chronic health conditions, global emergencies and health disparities. Alongside this is a shortage of skilled caregivers. This four-country qualitative study investigates the views of â careâ and â care careersâ of Generation Z (the next generation to join the workforce). Four cross-cultural themes emerged: conceptualising care; objects and subjects of care; recognising the challenges of care; and appreciating care work. Discussed in relation to Trontoâ s analysis of care, these themes illuminate Generation Zâ s commitment to care and highlight the need for organisational and political action to attract young people to care careers.
