Abstract
En el presente documento, hacemos referencia a las condiciones que acompañan al trabajo reproductivo vinculado a las migraciones, a partir del análisis de las cadenas globales del cuido, la tendencia restriccionista hacia el flujo de las y los trabajadores migrantes y el lugar que ocupan las trabajadoras de ONGs y personas voluntarias que atienden a la población migrante en Costa Rica. Las reflexiones aquí expuestas resultan de la participación de varias de estas trabajadoras en el Seminario Migración y Subjetividad del Instituto de Investigaciones Sociales de la Universidad de Costa Rica. A pesar de que el seminario iba dirigido a pensar estrategias conjuntas para influenciar políticas públicas en el trabajo con población migrante, se llega a la conclusión de que las condiciones del contexto doméstico se reproducen en las condiciones laborales de las mujeres que atienden y cuidan a la población migrante, manteniendo posiciones vulnerables para ambas e impidiendo acciones de transformación más contundentes
In this document, we refer to the conditions attached to reproductive work linked to migration, based on the analysis of global chains of care, the restrictionist trend towards the flow of migrant workers and the place women workers and volunteers at NGOs caring for the migrant population. The reflections we present here are the result of several of these workers’ participation in the Seminar Migration and Subjectivity at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Costa Rica. Although the seminar was intended to think about group strategies to influence public policies in the work with migrants, it was found that the conditions of the domestic context are reproduced in the working conditions of women who attend and care for the migrant population, generates and maintains vulnerable positions for both, limiting more striking actions for change.
