GENDER MIGRATION AND THE WORK OF CARE GEBUNDEN

This book explores how around the world  women's increased presence in the labor force has
reorganized the division of labor in households  affecting different regions depending on their
cultures  economies  and politics  as well as the nature and size of their welfare states and
the gendering of employment opportunities. As one result  the authors find  women are
increasingly migrating from the global south to become care workers in the global north. This
volume focuses on changing patterns of family and gender relations  migration  and care work in
the countries surrounding the Pacific Rim-a global epicenter of transnational care migration.
Using a multi-scalar approach that addresses micro  meso  and macro levels  chapters examine
three domains: care provisioning  the supply of and demand for care work  and the shaping and
framing of care. The analysis reveals that multiple forms of global inequalities are now
playing out in the most intimate of spaces.
