Abstract This chapter introduces home care as a complicated set of activities that transcend a number of boundaries, especially between public and private, formal and informal, and the micro and the macro levels. We discuss the importance of defining care by its location and provide an overview of the different locations that are used to define "home", as well as the dynamics between different home locations. This chapter also introduces the concept of governance as applied to home care, and introduces the close relation-ship between the public/private and the formal and informal sectors. It demonstrates that the governance of home care has become highly politicised because of demographic developments relating to ageing populations, societal developments relating to individualisation and changing gender cultures. including changes in the traditional role of families as care givers, and economic developments relating to heightened resource constraints across all policy areas. en
