Across Europe, brokering agencies for live-in care workers have become powerful players in reshaping welfare systems, transnational care chains and working conditions. This volume draws together the latest research on live-in home care for seniors in Europe, exploring processes of commodification and marketisation, the transnationalisation of care work, the private household as a workplace, and workers' contestation of the live-in care arrangement. Together, they depict far-reaching challenges in care provision and care work.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"A must-read for anyone wishing to understand the changes in the political economy of care in the 21st century.
