“…Care dominates much of the literature on migration and social protection, though research often faces hardships in placing "care work within a wider landscape of activities and sites and to connect supposedly disparate circuits of migration, in particular labour, family, and education, which are usually analysed separately but which are in fact interconnected" (Kofman, 2012, p. 144). The papers in this special issue therefore take into account not only care relations but also other forms of migrants' social protection, such as financial protection (Bilecen, 2019) and labour market inclusion (Castellani & Martín-Díaz, 2019) in due consideration of their transnational networks, stages in their life course and the impacts on life chances arising from the exchange of protective resources (Faist, 2014).…”
