SKORNIA, Anna Katharina  y  CIENFUEGOS ILLANES, Javiera. Transnational Care and Entangled Inequalities in the Peruvian Migration Experience: A Perspective Based on the Households of Departure. Desacatos [online]. 2016, n.52, pp.32-49. ISSN 2448-5144.

This article analyzes the care practices in the Peruvian migration experience, focusing on the perspectives of transnational family members who are left in Peru. The first part describes the theoretical perspective, methodology and context of Peruvian emigration and the households studied. A second part analyzes the care arrangements in these households from a perspective focused on entangled inequalities. It shows that transnational care-giving is shaped by a deepening of intrafamilial inequalities, based on power axes such as gender, citizenship, social class, and place of residence. These asymmetries also affect the experiences of children and aging parents who are left behind, which are examined in the third and fourth parts of this article.

Palabras llave : global care chains; migration; inequalities; Peru; Italy.
