BACKGROUND: Older adults who live alone and have difficulties in activities of daily living (ADLs) may have been more vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, little is known about pandemic-related changes in ADL...
Previous research into the exclusion of disabled persons from paid work tends to compartmentalize them into a stable and undifferentiated category of “cared‐for” subjects. This fixation implicitly approves the ethics of work as...
