Abstract
This article surveys the politically charged contextual shifts of the public–private distinction, and by focusing on the issue of care policies, traces how the simultaneous processes of depoliticization and reprivatization produce particularly gendered class-based consequences for the underprivileged groups of women. This is the case, especially in contexts such as Turkey, where neither women's empowerment nor the demographic and cultural shifts this entails have taken place. The authors list the new meanings attached to Private and Public.
