Gender, Migration and the Work of Care: Comparative Perspectives
The project investigates how the reorganization of care is influencing care workers’ international migration, and how this relates to gender equality and social development.
Grants and funding: SSHRC Partnership grant
The project is studying the migration decisions of workers who care for children, the elderly, and the disabled, and doing so on a global scale. Researchers will investigate what Peng calls “shifts in national and global policies” that encourage the workers to take their expertise across international borders.
