Abstract: Between care and career. Domestic and care work of transnational female migrants as strategic resources. This contribution focuses on the multiscalarity of economic and social relations taking transnational domestic and care workers as an example. As a consequence of neoliberal transformations in European welfare states, demands for personal domestic services increase and are met by Eastern European female migrants. These migrants’ activities rely on two strategies, namely rotating between places and between care and career.
