| সংক্ষিপ্ত: | This article analyzes the transborder care work trajectories of Mexican women living in the area of Tijuana while working in San Diego, taking care of children and the elderly. Because the study of global care chains focused on the transnational dimension of care activities, the transborder dimension of care work constitutes a novel element for its analysis. Based on the interviews with a group of women, the main argument proposes that their transborder trajectories rely on crossbording as the central aspect that defines care labor arrangements, while turnover results from the life course of the persons who receive care. Besides, the elements that organize the trajectories are motivations for care work, family responsibilities, life course, and mobility across the border, as well as women´s profile. |
