... once upon a time, the unequal distribution of care work was considered a natural state of affairs - a burden that was almost exclusively placed on certain groups. But in the early 2030s, a profound social upheaval began: inspired people, supported by progressive movements, communities of solidarity and courageous political decisions, called for a radical reshaping of the way we live together.
In this utopia, new curricula were introduced in schools and universities that challenged old role models and emphasized the value of care work as a community treasure. Government support programs and legal reforms led to the introduction of flexible working hours, the massive expansion of high-quality care services and fair pay - regardless of whether someone worked in business or care.
Over time, awareness changed: Society and the economy recognized that a fair distribution of care work not only enriched everyone's lives, but also strengthened innovation and social cohesion. A new world of work emerged in which care work was no longer seen as an individual burden, but as a shared responsibility. Instead of being limited to the nuclear family, care grew in large networks of solidarity - friends, neighbors and communities supported each other.
Looking back today, it seems almost inconceivable that it was ever normal for care work to be so unequally distributed and that many were systematically disadvantaged as a result. The exploitation and invisibilization of this work became a relic of an era long gone.
Utopia shows us a future in which equality is not just an ideal, but a lived reality - a world in which everyone has the freedom and opportunities to develop their full potential, and in which the former injustice is considered an incomprehensible curiosity of the past.
