Professor Fiona Williams: Who cares? Migrant workers in the transnational care economy
Increasingly the richer world has become dependent on migrant women
workers from the poorer regions to do their care and domestic work. As
developed countries face a 'care crunch' with an ageing population, more
women in paid employment and a squeeze on public expenditure, they are
turning, by design or by default, to this as a solution. What are the
dynamics behind these international 'care chains' and 'care drains'?
Drawing from her research Fiona will explain personal and political
consequences of this phenomenon. She will argue that it poses a major
challenge for global justice.
