Analyzing Child Care in a Global Context
| Previous studies of child care have focused primarily at the national level or have compared child care policies and provisions across societies. In a globalizing world, however, it is important to take into consideration "global care chains," that is, the relationship between migration and child care in both the countries from which migrants originate and those where they become paid caregivers. What is the impact of the global care chain on those left behind ("care deficits")? What factors affect the demand for care and the working conditions of care providers in destination countries? Finally, how do policy directives regarding care that emanate from international organizations such as the OECD, ILO, etc. affect policymaking for child care?
