Reframing Health Inequalities from an Ecological Care Perspective
Abstract
This article examines the crisis of social reproduction generated by neoliberal development from an ecological perspective and argues for a “care transition” that repositions care as a core political principle. Climate change and environmental degradation produce unequal health outcomes that are differentially embodied along lines of class, gender, and migratory status, constituting forms of ecological dispossession. Drawing on feminist political economy, posthumanist theory, and ecological care, the article conceptualizes health inequalities as outcomes of entangled social and ecological crises. It highlights the interdependence of human and non-human life and calls for a reorganization of social reproduction that integrates ecological sustainability, care justice, and democratic responsibility.
