| Annotation | The restructuring of formal care services in Germany has been followed by an increase in care workers with migration backgrounds. Based on a 2010 survey study in home-based and residential care, this article compares the situation of care workers with and without migration backgrounds. With its own conceptual framework of multi-level intersectional analysis, it examines developments in care organisations embedded in long-term care, professionalisation and migration policies. Most care workers with migration backgrounds had permanent employment and residence permits. In contrast to the unskilled, those with skills enjoyed favourable employment conditions; but both these groups have faced difficulties in daily residential care work. (RH). |
