CRISTINA YUFRA, Laura  e  SANTAMARIA LORENZO, Enrique. Learning Home Care in Migratory Contexts: Ambivalences, Alliances and Distances. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2015, vol.14, n.spe5, pp.1637-1648. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy14-5.achc.

This paper seeks to debate the dynamics existing between users of and trainers in a home care course for illegal immigrants in Barcelona. The analysis of these dynamics reveals the ambivalence of the help and support devices used by immigrants. These devices expose distant and top-down social positions (Spanish citizen / immigrant-foreigner), as well as alliances between users and trainers based on their shared identification as "employees" vis-à-vis the "lady of the house". Our analysis also reveals the importance of care work for the reproduction of life and also the lack of social recognition, low pay and poor legal coverage this type of job gets in the labour market.

Palavras-chave : immigration; workforce training; care; social classifications; Barcelona.
