Sumario:This article analyses the Catalan public policies for care. There are two main conclusions. Firstly, the involvement of the state does not decrease the market role. On the contrary, it has been a commodification of care. Secondly, public policies have not changed the gender structure. Women remain the principal caretaker and men are hardly ever involved. The hypothesis is that public policies are based on prevalent concepts and ideologies about women roles and family functions. Dependence is associated. They also have a restrictive and fragmented way of understanding the dependence, which is related to elders and children. I propose to consider care as part of social reproduction and, consequently, as part of a social debt that involves the whole of society. This approach reveals the ideological masks that prevent the distribution of care between sexes and generations and between individuals, family and State
