The Institute of Sociology of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the Faculty of Humanities, Charles University, in collaboration with Association for Integration and Migration invite you to the international symposium Borders, Mobility of Care and Translocal Social Reproduction.
The event is financially supported by the program Strategy AV21 of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the Office of the Government of the Czech Republic in its granting scheme for gender equality.
Please register to the conference, the capacity is limited due to pandemic restrictions.
The participants will have to meet one of the following requirements: a current certificate of negative test, complete vaccination or evidence of protection period after a laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 disease.
Recent developments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have highlighted the deficit of care and social inequalities within the EU that are linked to the provision of care. Closing the borders at the beginning of the pandemic has highlighted the fact that the care system in many European countries depends on cheap labour and the exploitation and abuse of care workers’ mobility. The symposium will focus on the regional perspective of Central Europe, where the cross-border care market is based on an institutionalized combination of inclusion (in the EU through access to the labour market) and exclusion of migrant workers from some aspects of labour and social rights.
