All of us will require care at some point in our lives. However, the concept of care within institutions and public administrations remains in its infancy. Instead, care continues to reside within a separate, private sphere, often invisible and undervalued in its importance.

This edition of Quaderns reflects on the need for care to transcend the private sphere and become a political imperative, fostering the development of a fairer, more compassionate society. Readers are invited to reflect on this topic with the help of experts Victoria Camps, Joan Tronto, David Palomera, and Carme Planas.
