 Commodified care relations: Elderly people with disabilities and migrant care workers in Turkey


Publisher: ETHOS project

Volume: 29 pages, pdf

Description:
 
This study on the commodified care relations in Turkey deals with the case of migrant care workers (from Central Asian and Caucuses and the Black Sea) and elderly people with disabilities due to old age and chronic illness. We approached five families who had a migrant care worker in the household working with a care receiver who was prepared to participate. It aims to understand commodified care relations in households in a familialistic welfare context where care of dependents in the family is perceived as a family matter.
