A Multidimensional Analysis of Migration and Care Work

2019 - Franco Angeli

9-24 p.

  • This article provides an intersectional and multiscalar analysis of migrant care work. First, it situates this as a dynamic in the transnational political economy care, alongside the transnational movement of care capital, the transnationalisation of care commitments, and transnational governance by international organisations, as well as the transnational activism of networks of migrant care and domestic workers. Second, the article explains the multiscalar nature of this political economy of care across different scales of micro, meso and macro, each characterised by forms of intersectionality. At the micro, care work involves complex intersecting social and interpersonal relations of power and vulnerability. These shape and are shaped at the meso scale where national care regimes intersect with employment and migration regimes. These are further constituted through the intersections of four crises at the macroglobal scale: finance, ecology, care, and migration.
  • The article ends by considering strategies for global care justice. [Publisher's text].
