摘要
Women and young people are disproportionately burdened by the restructuring of healthcare services. Home-based healthcare provision by children in Zimbabwe is investigated through qualitative interviews with young carers and key informants. The study suggests that young people (especially girls) become carers according to varied personal and household factors in the context of the AIDS pandemic, macro-economic decline and ESAP-weakened formal health services.
