Abstract: Abstract In the short run, the cross-border migration of elder-care workers is a zero-sum game, with the source country losing and the host country gaining. This offends our sense of justice, especially since the host populations tend to be richer. In this chapter, I argue that we ought to direct our gaze beyond the short run, at the long run. Once we do that, we will see possibilities of non-zero-sum games that are mutually beneficial. The large question arises, though, as to how nations may choose among them by committing to some principle of justice.
