In the context of ageing populations, increasing participation of
women in the labour market, growing marketisation of care
provision, and, most importantly, global inequalities, racialised
care workers have come to fulfil a key role within older-age care
in western European societies. This book presents a gendered
political economy of migrant and minority ethnic care workers'
experiences in older-age care in London, Paris and Madrid. Its
cross-national comparative approach allows for a differentiated
analysis of the workings of migration, employment and care regimes
in three capital cities, with similarly segmented care sectors, yet
diverse policies and implications for care workers. Sahraoui
provides a novel perspective that advances debates on the ethics of
care by foregrounding the voices of racialised care workers and
contributing to feminist moral philosophy. Racialised Workers and
European Older-Age Care offers unique insights into the meanings of
care labour and the challenges arising from processes of neoliberal
marketisation, precarisation and institutional racism. The book
sketches out an intersectional understanding of the exploitative
relationships on which care and social reproduction currently rely
and demonstrates why it matters to move care from the margins of
society to its centre. This innovative and compelling analysis will
appeal to students and scholars of Anthropology, Sociology,
Political Science and Social Policy, as well as those working in
the interdisciplinary sub-fields of Gender, Migration, Labour, and
Racism Studies.
