摘要

《人员自由流动协定》促进了瑞士养老护理新市场的出现。私人护理机构从加入欧盟的国家招募妇女，并将她们安置在私人家庭中作为老年人的住家护理人员。本文重点介绍了这些机构如何组织这些居家护理安排。根据流动性政治的概念，我分析了通过护理机构的安置和招聘实践以及生活护理安排背后的权力关系产生的流动性。研究结果表明，生活在护理中既有流动性，例如护理人员的循环运动和需要高度流动性，也有护理人员开始在家庭工作后的不动性。护理人员的流动性反过来又得益于机构的安置实践和专门用于他们行动的基础设施，这些基础设施起到了系泊作用。

Producing (im)mobilities in home care for the elderly: the role of home care agencies in Switzerland

The Free Movement of Persons Agreement has fostered the emergence of a new market for live-in care in Switzerland. Private care agencies recruit women from the European Union (EU) accession states and place them as live-in carers for the elderly in private households. This paper focuses on how these agencies organise these live-in care arrangements. Drawing on concepts of the politics of mobility, I analyse the production of (im)mobilities through the placement and recruitment practices of care agencies and the power relations that underlie live-in care arrangements. The findings show that live-in care is constituted both by mobilities, exemplified by care workers’ circular movements and need to be highly mobile, and by care workers’ immobilities once they start working in a household. The care workers’ mobility is in turn enabled by the agencies’ placement practices and by infrastructures specialised in their movements, which serve as moorings.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Ageing and Later Life (IJAL) serves an audience interested in social and cultural aspects of ageing and later life development. As such, the Journal welcomes contributions that aim at advancing the theoretical and conceptual debate on research on ageing and later life. Contributions based on empirical work are also welcome as are methodologically interested discussions of relevance to the study of ageing and later life. Being an international journal, IJAL acknowledges the need to understand the cultural diversity and context dependency of ageing and later life.
