Summary/Abstract: In this chapter we provide a theoretical framework for understanding two issues central to this book. First, this is the role of care services in the current societal and social policy context, in relation to new social risks, work-life balance and well-being. The second issue is what the factors/ drivers are that explain the recent and current developments of care services in contemporary European societies.
