本文探讨了爱劳动的本质，并探讨了它如何与其他形式的护理工作区分开来。它为分析以他人为中心的工作提供了三重分类，区分了维持初级保健关系（爱的劳动）、二级保健关系（一般护理工作）和三级保健关系（团结工作）所需的工作。该论文的一个中心主题是，没有爱的劳动，初级保健关系是不可持续的；爱的实现，而不是爱的表白，需要付出努力。本文借鉴了广泛的理论和经验来源，包括作者对关怀的研究，认为爱的劳动的核心是相互性、承诺、信任和责任，这使它有别于一般的关怀工作和团结工作。它列出了为什么不可能将爱的劳动者的感情、意图和承诺商品化，从而在付费的基础上提供它们的原因。
This paper examines the nature of love labouring and explores how it can be distinguished from other forms of care work. It provides a three fold taxonomy for analysing other-centred work, distinguishing between work required to maintain primary care relations (love labour), secondary care relations (general care work) and tertiary care relations (solidarity work). A central theme of the paper is that primary care relations are not sustainable over time without love labour; that the realization of love, as opposed to the declaration of love, requires work. Drawing on a wide range of theoretical and empirical sources, including a study of caring undertaken by the author, the paper argues that there is mutuality, commitment, trust and responsibility at the heart of love labouring that makes it distinct from general care work and solidarity work. It sets out reasons why it is not possible to commodify the feelings, intentions and commitments of love labourers to supply them on a paid basis.
