Session 4 - Panel III - The Role of Men in the Transnational Division of Domestic Work

In this panel, we analyse the role of men in the framework of research on "global care chains". We ask how and why male domestic work in receiving countries is being outsourced to migrants and which outcomes this has in terms of gendered and intergenerational relations as well as work life balance for both employers and migrant handymen.
