Il caregiver nel prisma delle relazioni familiari

Di Maria Novella Bugetti -
The A. examines the legal status of the family caregiver within the framework of private and family law, highlighting the persistent gap between social recognition and juridical invisibility. While welfare legislation increasingly acknowledges the central role of informal family care, civil law continues to struggle to conceptualize care as a legally relevant activity. The analysis explores the ambiguous boundaries between spontaneity, moral duty, and legal obligation in family-based assistance, with particular attention to intergenerational asymmetries. The paper critically assesses the limits of traditional legal instruments, such as maintenance obligations and marital duties of assistance. . .
