Abstract
► Orphaned youth heading households undertake very high levels of care work. ► Gendered time-space caring practices conflict with linear and cyclical rhythms of everyday life. ► Time scarcity has negative outcomes on young people's health, education and mobility. ► 'Successful' transitions to adulthood are restricted by caring responsibilities. ► Changing contexts and relations of care mediate young people's agency.
