“Care Poverty: When Older People’s Needs Remain Unmet (2022), Finnish sociologist Teppo Kröger, treads familiar territory but now adopting a more invigorated approach. … Dovetailing with his previous work, this monograph deftly shows how social inequalities escalate to care poverty. … This book offers researchers, students, practitioners, and policymakers something to engage with, learn from, and discuss.” (Sayendri Panchadhyayi, Anthropology & Aging, Vol. 45 (1), 2024)
