Füreinander sorgen

All people need care. Without care, children cannot grow up, the sick cannot get well, the elderly cannot grow old. Care keeps society running. But why is care often neglected as a social value? In her new book, bestselling author Susanne Mierau writes about how important it is to care for each other. Without children, no one would pay our pensions later; the elderly have built our prosperity. And yet both groups are often seen as troublemakers, yet nursery nurses are not paid enough. There are quite a few guidebooks explaining to parents how to raise children better, how to reconcile family and job - but Mierau makes it clear that this is not the point: politics, business and society must find a new attitude, fundamentally change the structures. In a blazing, warm-hearted and solution-oriented plea, she shows what has to change so that this country does not destroy its own foundations.
