DESCRIPTION:Degrowth is premised on reducing material extraction while in
 creasing societal well-being. This inversion implies a shift away from t
 he production of material goods toward the provision of care to enable i
 ndividual\, collective and environmental flourishing. In order to achiev
 e that\, post-growth societies will need to see both an expansion of pub
 lic care provision and its embedding into communities\, extending care t
 o those to whom its denied and improving conditions under which care is 
 provided. However\, the present realities of care provision is that it i
 s frequently performed as an unwaged form of labour or by workers\, most
 ly women and migrants\, who can expect the least protection in the labou
 r market. While the pandemic was an opportunity to begin to transform th
 e systems of care\, the failure to institute change is now resulting in 
 an evisceration of the sector and an exodus of workers. Starting from th
 is crisis\, in this panel we want to explore how the vital function of c
 are can be restored and strengthened both through community action\, exp
 ansion of public services and redistributive practices. It is through th
 e struggles around care that we can begin to envision what contours the 
 future post-growth societies might actually take.
