Riassunto

As national borders become more permeable, women are increasingly traveling from poor to rich countries to take jobs as care workers. The struggle to maintain a healthy work/care balance in Western nations is creating a care deficit in the developing world. This book links ethics to the social politics of care by examining the implications of the feminization of migrant labor and the shortcomings of social policy. From Canada to Sweden and from Korea to Japan, renowned and emerging scholars reveal that a truly feminist ethics of care must be grounded in the concrete lives of real people working in transnational webs of social relations.
