“Brokering Ethnic Difference and Care Culture: Migration Infrastructure for Foreign Care Workers in East Asia”
As one of the three presenters at a mini-Symposium on Intra-regional migration, gender and the care economy: policies, institutions and organisational actors
The literature on the recruitment of migrant care workers has mostly focused on either the macro overview of comparative regimes or the micro portrait of migrant subjectivity, lacking sufficient analysis on the meso level of “migration infrastructure” that facilitates and constrains the formation of global care chains, including government institutions, for-profit agencies, certification exams, and visa regulations, etc. This presentation will examine the divergence of care migration infrastructures in East Asia, especially by comparing the recruitment and training of migrant care workers from Southeast Asia to Taiwan and Japan. The comparison demonstrates how the receiving societies manage to uphold the social images of quality care by negotiating ethnic boundaries, cultural difference, and the ambiguous skilled-unskilled divide.
