This working paper series is the result of UN-INSTRAW´s research in migration, gender and development and the organization´s recently launched work in a new strategic area: global care chains. UN-INSTRAW is convinced that the formation of global care chains embodies the broader process of the globalization of care and provides a valuable position from which to examine the interrelationship between migration and development. This paper accompanies "Global perspectives on the social organization of care in times of crisis: Assesing the policy challenges ahead". The study of global care chains looks most often at Asian migration (or interregional migration as in the case of the US) and rarely at migration from Latin America and the Caribbean, which is the focus of these papers. The first paper asks´what is happening´ while the second considers ´how to intervene in what is happening´.
