abstract: 'Scholars have highlighted the multiple dimensions of care and its
|
|
|
|
intersections with migratory patterns to collectively show that there
|
|
|
|
are wide-ranging and sometimes unintended consequences to the global
|
|
|
|
intensification of migrant care labor. This article focuses not on
|
|
|
|
migrant workers themselves, nor on people who hire them. Instead, it
|
|
|
|
throws into the mix a class of people who do not have access to migrant
|
|
|
|
care workers, but who nonetheless live in a society where norms and
|
|
|
|
standards are set by people who do. I argue that under the current
|
|
|
|
work-care-migration regime in Singapore, low-income families'' needs are
|
|
|
|
overlooked. As feminist scholars and activists challenge existing state
|
|
|
|
policies, societal norms, and corporate practices, we must continually
|
|
|
|
insert into conversation the question of class variations and
|
|
|
|
inequalities. The article makes the case for an expanded view in
|
|
|
|
thinking about the effects of paid domestic work on public policy and
|
|
|
|
the wellbeing of various groups in society and along the global care
|
|
|
|
chain.'
