“…The paper does not distinguish between authorized (legal, documented) and unauthorized im/migrants for several reasons: unauthorized migration is not likely to be eliminated despite technological and old-fashioned fences and all varieties of border patrols; many issues are shared by authorized and unauthorized migrants; and human security of long-term residents is affected by treatment of recent migrants (there are many spill-over effects related to health and education, for example). 4 Domestic service work is the top category of employment for women migrants, but the demand for other types of care work, such as elder care, childcare and healthcare, is growing (see Pyle, 2006). 5 The lower amount is based on officially recorded accounts and the higher estimate includes informal remittances.…”

“…Remittances bring in potential investment funds that offset these concerns to some extent, but developing countries are having difficulty supplying care workers for their own needs. There is a break in the chain of care for children, the elderly and the ill (Meerman, 2001Parrenas, 2002;Pyle, 2006).Women can no longer cover these tasks through unpaid labour because they need to work to contribute to household income, and they are often the ones migrating. The brain-drain discourse is particularly focused on health-care professionals, and a number of policy options have been discussed to address the problem; for example, the more developed counDevelopment 50(4): Thematic Section tries that receive the workers could provide special training programmes for workers who will remain in the developing countries for a certain number of years or find ways of providing incentives to augment their own supply of care workers (Summerfield et al, 2006).…”

“…Because of the large number of potential explanatory variables, testing of multiplicative interaction terms between significant co-variates for each regression model was primarily guided by theories of healthy migrant effect (i.e. push and pull theory [37][38][39] , cumulative causation theory [40][41][42][43] , globalization and migration [44][45][46] ). Rather than testing all possible interactions, these were restricted to terms of scientific interest and literature to support their exploration.…”

“…The latest governmental figures indicate that currently Chile is experiencing a “new immigration” pattern with a majority of Latin American immigrants of working age, seeking labour opportunities [2]. There has also been increasing female immigration in the Latin American region, including Chile [3,21], in particular to work in manual and domestic services [22]. …”
