They consider the developments that have taken place in the field to create new identities for workers and new meaning in the work. They discuss the professionalization driven by the state and trade unions in Norway and how new forms of neo-liberal management emphasizing standardization and control undermines autonomy for care workers; the management, critical, and transformative perspectives on the meaning of work; how different kinds of qualifications are seen as essential and less essential for improving care work; the role of a positive work identity; emotional, subjective, and socialization aspects; new management identities for home and nursing care managers; professionalization in the field of dementia; and the future of care. Th emerged from a research network established in 2008 for a four-year project on the meaning of work in the elderly care sector funded by the Danish Fund for Research on Working Environment.
