Kick-off Workshop „Decent Care Work“

On 13-14 August 2017 the researchers of the transnational project “Decent Care Work? Transnational Home Care Arrangements” met in Zurich for a two-day kick-off workshop.
The project studies the transnational recruitment by home care agencies of, usually female, migrant carers for employment as live-ins in private households. It explores how home care agencies as well as care receivers and care-giving migrants in the households deal with expectations of good care and good work. It asks how care and work requirements are negotiated between the three groups of actors; which contradictions and conflicts occur; and how the care and work arrangements are justified and legitimised.
The project is a cooperation of the following three research teams:
Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany:
Aranka Benazha, Prof. Dr. Helma Lutz and Dr. Ewa Palenga-Möllenbeck
funded by the German Science Community (DFG) project no. LU 630/14-1

funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) project no. I 3145 G-29
University of Zurich, Switzerland:
