Abstract
This chapter uses data from our set of 30 in-depth Care Conversations with carers and care recipients to examine the way unpaid care work interfaces with employment in terms of time demands. It also explores the ways in which time for love labouring is squeezed out increasingly through the use of so-called flexible time schedules, the intensification of work and time spent commuting to and from work.
