Meer over het boek

The essay examines the interconnectedness of class and ethnic oppression in Hong Kong, highlighting the impact of long working hours on family dynamics. Adults sacrifice quality time with family to meet economic demands, while the government shifts responsibility for childcare and elder care to families, leveraging foreign domestic helpers as a cost-saving measure. This approach reflects neo-liberal policies, where the state avoids its obligations, exacerbating social inequalities and neglecting the needs of vulnerable populations.
