Assignment 10

In “Global Care Crisis: A Problem of Capital, Care Chains, or Commons?” various scholars argue that the concept of “the common” is important to drive their point on the issue of South-North migration. Their concern on the migration of women is that they leave behind their children and the effects of that separation are extreme to both of their lives. The market and the society are the causes of this issue, by exploring history they realized the relationship between the two is very similar to back then but now it took a different from. Women are pulled towards the market of the North while the social relations are deteriorated in the south. From one side of the spectrum it might be beneficial for the economy and well being of the family but on the other side the emotional and development of the children will suffer a lot and weaken.  According to the authors, it is necessary to look at it a whole which is made up by integrity of a family by gestures of love and physical connections plus a fair economy to survive. The concept of the common is required for the completion of the whole because if it is ignore then it will be narrow to the realization of the impact it has on the children life whom are the future generations. When children are separated from their mothers their ability to connect to an unknown world will be weaker than others that grow up with both of their parents. It can be argued that the market is necessary but not as the care a mother and a father should provide their children. However, there is a lot of pressure forcing parents to migrate and as a consequence their children and other family members to be affected for good or bad.
