| This book uses the global care chain concept to explore the contours and dynamics of the 'new' reproductive economy. This book considers migrant care workers a key global phenomenon. It presents selection of three contrasting sets of care workers not usually covered in the literature. It includes unpublished research and previously unavailable statistical data on migrant care workers. Exploring the globalization of reproductive labour, this book expands a traditional focus on domestic workers and presents an analysis of the international migration of professional nurses and religious care workers. The study covers a range of countries in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas. | |
