Borderscapes of Care in Europe: The Case of Czech Live-in Care Workers in Germany
Original language description
This chapter presents an analysis of the lived experiences of Czech cross-border care workers who work in Germany in live-in care for seniors. It uses the analytical lens of borderscapes of care, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic, the borderscapes of care became a microcosm of the social reproductive contradictions of capitalism. The chapter analyses how the cross-border care market is reflected in the lived experiences of live-in care workers and how their experiences have been affected by pandemic restrictions since early 2020. The authors articulate the care workers’ lived critique as an analytical translation of their interpretation of the negative aspects of this model of caring for seniors, wherein a link is made between the micro dynamic of social relations in their clients’ homes, the mezzo dynamic of states’ social and labour policies and the macro dynamic of the symbolic and economic inequalities between states that are embedded in global economic structures.
