Caring Beyond Borders

Through in-depth case studies, this collection assesses the efficacy of home care policies for delivering decent work and workers' rights.

The contributors reach across the Atlantic, heeding the call for perspectives beyond the North to study border-transcending dynamics and interdependencies. The lens of the pandemic reveals why care systems proved so inadequate for mitigating the contagion and why some countries fared better than others. Broadening the focus through international comparisons offers lessons in the medium and long-term and can provide a better understanding of systemic vulnerabilities and capacities for ensuring resilience and positive outcomes before, during, and after disasters.

Contributors are: Louisa Acciari, Ana Andrada, Eileen Boris, Javier Pineda D., Sabah Boufkhed, Suelen E. Castiblanco-Moreno, Anju Mary Paul, Anne Eydoux, Chiara Giordano, Heidi Gottfried, Nadya Araujo Guimar es, Virginie Guiraudon, Helena Hirata, Cl mence Ledoux, Sofia Mortara, Lorena Poblete, Claire Sonnet, Camila Vega-Salazar, and Regina Stela Corr a Vieira.
