The main purpose of the workshop 'Care chain: care migration and gender equality in an enlarged Europe' is to disseminate the research findings at the intersection of care, migration and gender equality that were achieved by researchers of the CEU Center for Policy Studies in the last couple of years.

The workshop brings together international scholars and local researchers in the field of care, migration and gender equality studies. It encompasses contemporary empirical findings of various disciplines including cultural anthropology, labour economics, policy studies, political science, social policy and sociology. The workshop reflects both societal and individual perspectives of care work that is one of the few sectors where employment opportunities are expected to expand in the coming decades. The focus of the workshop is on three aspects of care: institutional arrangements of care regimes, the role of migrant care workers and the gender equality impacts of care.

The papers of the workshop are planned to be published at a special issue of the journal "Intersections. East European Journal of Society and Politics" (a new comparative Central European academic journal with double-blind peer review system).
