Global Care Chains

This publication is the result of UN-INSTRAW’s research into migration, gender and development, and the organisation’s recently launched work in a new strategic area: global care chains. The intention in bringing this paper to the public debate is threefold: 1) to show the importance of including caregiving in discussions around development, 2) to argue that we cannot address caregiving without considering Globalisation and migration, and 3) to raise new elements of reflection for those already working in the area of the social organisation of care, such as the issue of development from a transnational perspective.
