Název v původním jazyce

The political economy of social reproduction: cross-border care mobility in the Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The chapter on care migration from and into Czech Republic focuses on structural causes that define inequalities in the care sector. The chapter draws on a range of data, mainly ethnographic research and biographical interviews with care workers. Authors analyse the situation of Ukrainian care workers in the Czech Republic, and the case of Czech women working in Austria and Germany. Uhde and Ezzeddine claim that, despite the idea of a }}borderless Europe((, borders between nation-states play a crucial role in economic inequalities. Care migration is built on and reinforces these these inequalities: economically better-off states follow their economic interests and save money by employing cheaper migrant labour, without providing eligibility rights and social security for migrant workers.The care crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has shed light on the everyday functioning of the transnational political economy of social reproduction, which presupposes and - paradoxically - also denies the transnational lives of migrant care workers.
