INSTRAW Library

Welcome to the INSTRAW LIBRARY, a compilation of around 600 publications produced by the former UN International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women (UN-INSTRAW), which served as the leading UN institute devoted to research, training and knowledge management to achieve gender equality and women’s empowerment. INSTRAW, along with DAW, OSAGI and UNIFEM, came together in 2010 to establish the present UN Women.

Year: 2012
Description:

Esta síntesis se basa en los resultados de nueve estudios que analizan los efectos que tienen la migración en las organizaciones de los cuidados, tanto en los países de origen (Nicaragua, Paraguay, Perú, Ecuador y Bolivia), como en los países de destino (España, Costa Rica, Argentina y Chile) y la dinámica y creación de las cadenas globales de cuidados enmarcadas en régimen de cuidados injustos. Al mismo tiempo, se recolectan propuestas concretas para integrar el componente del cuidado como un eje central del desarrollo y para realizar intervenciones públicas que valoren el trabajo de cuidados, la responsabilidad colectiva, y la igualdad de género.
