The conceptualization and models of migration, gendered labor,
and care have been developed with the primacy of South to North
migrations in mind and have only incorporated Southern countries’
experiences selectively. Using the examples of selected countries in
the South, especially middle-income countries, this article aims to
unsettle some of the assumptions that underlie this analysis and to
lay out some questions that might need to be addressed to make
questions of care reflect the diversity and dynamic of migratory
systems, gender regimes, and welfare arrangements in the South.
In particular, the middle-income countries, such as Argentina and
South Africa, pose interesting questions as they are tied into global
circuits of care in distinctive ways and have different kinds of care
provisioning and histories of gendered migrations
