Description: This research study examines the long-standing connection between care, social inequality and exclusion from citizenship. This document focuses in bringing to the public debate to show the importance of including caregiving in discussions around development; to argue that caregiving is related to globalization and migration; and raise new elements of reflection for those already working in the area of the social organization of care, such as the issue of development from a transnational perspective.
