- Examines the mechanisms, policies, strategies and actors that are involved in mobilizing, recruiting and placing migrant care workers from poorer countries in private households and long-term care services in richer countries
- Addresses a gap in the literature by investigating the complex entanglement and involvement of a growing number of actors in the recruitment and incorporation of migrants in national old age care systems, and how this shapes the delivery of old age care
- Provides a cutting-edge interdisciplinary and global analysis of the processes and mechanisms underlying the increasing migration of old age care workers in different countries and regions in the world
