Gender on the move – Lithuanian women (illegally) working in German households – consequences on the families here and there
Review
The purpose of this article is to present some results of a qualitative research regarding the globalization of Care Work . The research was focused on the work of Lithuanian women who care for elderly people in German families. As part of the process of globalization, the traditionally feminine activities of care and reproduction are being further devalued and marginalized as unpaid, illegal and highly exploited work. The presented text is based on a presentation held on Vytauto Didziojo Universitetas in Kaunas Lithuania.
