Unpaid care work and women's human rights 2013, para. 66
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- In many countries in the global South, growing numbers of women are compelled to migrate in order to provide for the future of their family, often as a result of shortages of well-remunerated jobs at home. Often migrant women take on jobs abroad as domestic workers, in what has been called the "global care chain". Migrant workers therefore fill the unmet need for care services in the richer destinations, while family members that remain at home must devise new strategies for reorganizing tasks and care responsibilities in their absence. Overall, this intensifies the care deficit in poorer countries.
