Résumé

Cet article examine le lien entre la famille et l'État au niveau des traitements pour les personnes âgées. L'auteur cherche à déterminer pourquoi il incombe à la famille et plus particulièrement aux femmes de veiller sur les membres âgés de la parenté. Il examine également le rôle que l'état joue en soulignant l'importance du rôle de la famille et il cite à cet effet une étude empirique importante qui porte sur les traitements offerts aux personnes âgées à Sheffield en Grande-Bretagne. Les résultats de cette étude sont utilisés pour mettre en valeur la base normative de la relation de soins. En conclusion, l'auteur examine divers autres genres de traitements et il émet des doutes concernant l'hypothèse naïve d'un conflit entre les personnes âgées et ceux qui veillent sur elles.
