“…Using the example of live‐in elderly care in Switzerland, she illustrates how migrant care workers (discursively and through their everyday practices) resist the assumed corruption of their caregiving through its monetarisation. In a similar vein, authors challenge the framing of domestic workers as passive victims and demonstrate how they actively shape their life trajectories (Schwiter, Strauss, & England, 2018; Strüver, 2013) and organise and campaign for better working conditions (Ally, 2005; Chau, Pelzelmayer, & Schwiter, 2018; England, 2017; Pratt & Migrante, 2018; Schilliger & Schilling, 2017).…”

This article explores the growing interest in care within geography. Focusing on care as waged work, we trace current transformations through commodification and digitalisation. We discuss how the private household is turning into a precarious and feminised workplace for a growing number of workers, and we show how this development is promoted by the rise of labour agencies that facilitate the transnational recruitment of care workers. The literature on global care chains illustrates how the recruitment of migrant workers fills care deficits in destination countries while opening up care gaps in sending countries. We review this literature from economic geography and beyond and reflect on the continuing feminisation and devaluation of care labour. Based on these critical insights, we examine how processes of digitalisation contribute to reshaping care work. We discuss the ambivalent effects of digital technologies on care and argue that there is an urgent need to intensify our engagement with the processes and effects of digital transformations. In our conclusions, we call for strengthening the budding debate on alternative visions of caring within geography and point to avenues for future engagement.

“…Wie die Regulierungschronologie indes zeigt, führt die seit Jahren beständig geübte Kritik (vgl. auch Chau et al 2018;Schilliger und Schilling 2017) nicht dazu, dass das Modell grundsätzlich neu verhandelt wird. Durch eine legitimationssoziologische Brille lässt sich sodann beobachten, dass den als Kritikprinzipien funktionierenden Gerechtigkeitsansprüchen pragmatische Rationalitätsansprüche gegenüberstehen, die das Arrangement legitimieren und stabilisieren.…”

«Good Pay for Good Work»? Legitimation and Criticism in the Regulation Process of Round-the-Clock Elderly Care in Swiss Private Households

This article focuses on efforts to regulate live-in care in Swiss households. Based on a sociology of legitimation, the model is conceptualised as a fragile order with a need for legitimation, and expectations towards its regulation are examined. While claims to justice serve as principles of criticism, austerity-based claims legitimise the arrangement. The need for adjustment is dealt with in a way that the model remains possible. Regulation remains fragmented and the debate about costs overshadows the question of how to (re-)organise long-term care.
