abstract: 'This article contrasts the earnings of high- and low-status care workers

  in Canada, the United States, Japan, the Republic of Korea and Taiwan

  (China) using the micro-data files of the Luxembourg Income Study. By

  disaggregating existing definitions of care work, the author identifies

  occupations with lower and higher degrees of social closure, revealing

  the associated care penalties and care bonuses cross-nationally. She

  also empirically measures the extent of similarities (and differences)

  between and within care economies in liberal and productivist

  developmental welfare regimes, offering support for the argument that

  globalization has fostered substantial convergence within the

  international care market.'
