Abstract
Abstract
The main focus of the chapter is on the multiple dimensions of social inequality related to the migration of women from poorer regions to perform care and domestic work in households and organizations in wealthier regions. The chapter argues that this development demands an analysis that can make connections across the forms, scales, and sites of social inequality and the policies that influence them. To this end, the author employs an intersectional and multi-scalar perspective, arguing that it offers a useful way of understanding the multiple social relations of inequality at play in care work. Williams provides selected cross-national examples of the intersections in migrant care work and concludes by examining the macro scale and the transnational personal and political agency of migrant care workers, their successes, and what they have yet to achieve.
