A nurturing environment is a crucial element for the development of a person, starting from the day they are born until they are independent adults, and care work plays a huge part in it. Even as adults, humans need a certain level of emotional support to be considered healthy. . Care work is usually performed by women, especially women of color, with unfair pay. Employers often use the "notion of love" to delay or get away with paying care employees because they feel as if they are obligated to help and pay can come later, if at all. . This can be problematic because women can get stuck in this cycle of being assured that they'll be paid, get overworked, and the pay check never comes. They are also prevented from outwardly saying anything to their employers because they risk losing their job.
