Interview data from 60 couples, one of whom in each case was chronically ill, are used to address problems of managing chronic illness at home in terms of the concept of "work": what types & subtypes of work, entailing what tasks, who does them, how, where, the consequences, & the problems involved. Three types of work & consequences of their interplay are discussed: illness work, everyday life work, & biographical work. Theoretical concerns of the sociology of work are addressed as well as the substantive issues of managing chronic illness. 28 References. Modified HA
