While childcare has been a key site of interrogation for feminist geographers, highlighting the profound inequities of marketized care for many who work in and use childcare, the contours of the childcare market as a situated and constructed economic entity has remained under-examined. I suggest that at a time when more families than ever rely on extra-familial childcare, an appreciation of how childcare markets function is urgently needed.706 - 722childcaremarketsneoliberalizationwelfare reformwomen's workJournal article10.1177/03091325177029703993171477-0288Massey_Dark1604 Human Geography2002 Cultural Studies
