Gender, Migration and Work of Care: A Multi-Scalar Approach. Part I

Monday, 16 July 2018: 15:30-17:20
Location: 713A (MTCC SOUTH BUILDING)
RC19 Sociology of Poverty, Social Welfare and Social Policy (host committee)

Language: English

This panel examines the intersections of care, migration and policy regimes around the Pacific Rim. By focusing on this region, we bring together three of today’s fastest-growing centers of transnational care migration, Asia, America and Oceania. Using a multi-scalar analytical framework, papers move from the global to the local, uncovering the links among broad socio-demographic and economic trends, welfare state developments, changes in the gendered division of labor and household patterns, care worker organizations, and international organizations. Authors rely on a wide range of methods, ranging from comparative social policy, historical institutional analysis to ethnography.
