Professor Liu Mei-chun from National Chengchi University's Institute for Labor Research points out two reasons for this. First, idle manpower in the community can be turned toward the care industry and employment opportunities for women can be created; second, sharing the heavy burden of home care with a local community-based service can break the natural linkage between caregiving and women and further advance caregiving, heretofore unpaid, as a "paid activity."
政大勞工研究所教授劉梅君指出，在社區扎根，一來可以讓社區內的閒置人力投入照顧產業、創造婦女的就業機會，二來，將家庭照顧的重擔就近由社區服務機構分擔，也能超脫照顧與女性的自然連結，進一步讓過去無酬的照顧工作「有酬化」。
