Three groups are highlighted: those that emphasize who they take care of at home; those who not only underline who they look after but also on those who receive special care inside and outside the home; and a third group that mentions community work, including community care. It is observed that some bills adopt a gender perspective and they propose co-responsibility based on care work, within members of the family and other institutions. However, the approach to co-responsibility does not necessarily imply an equitable distribution of caregiving tasks among the sexes, if women continue to be overloaded with these activities and, what is more, if they cannot count with favourable conditions to carry out these tasks.   Se analizan seis proyectos de ley nacionales recientes relacionados con el trabajo de cuidado no remunerado (tanto el que se realiza en los hogares como el comunitario) que buscan reconocer su valor social y económico. Se diferencian tres grupos: aquéllos que hacen énfasis en quienes cuidan dentro del hogar; aquéllos que ponen el foco no sólo en quienes cuidan, sino también en quienes reciben cuidados, dentro y fuera del hogar; y un tercer grupo que alude al trabajo comunitario, incluyendo el cuidado comunitario. Se observa que algunos de los proyectos incorporan una perspectiva de género y plantean la corresponsabilidad de las familias y otras instituciones en torno del cuidado. No obstante, el planteo de la corresponsabilidad no necesariamente implica una distribución más equitativa del cuidado entre los géneros si las actividades de cuidado siguen recayendo mayoritariamente en mujeres y si ellas no cuentan con condiciones favorables para realizar esas actividades.
