Description

Migrant Care Workers: Searching for New Horizons offers a deep comparative look into the lives of migrant workers within the care sector. Authors Karen Cristensen and Ingrid Guldvik examine the historical context of public care work and how different national frameworks shape the experiences of these individuals. By comparing the UK and Norway, this book explores how migration policies, general welfare, and long-term care policies impact the workforce. It looks specifically at how elements like cash-for-care schemes and cultural differences in values affect the way migrant care workers navigate their professional and personal lives. Rather than seeing migrants as passive participants, the authors present them as active individuals who build their own lives based on the specific options and conditions available to them. This work provides a necessary perspective for students, researchers, and professionals interested in sociology, anthropology, and the social sciences.
