Abstrakt: This study uses 2010–2014 Luxembourg Income Study data to measure care work quantitatively within and across four care regimes, with a particular focus on the reliance on migrant women for low-wage, low-status work in health, education, social work, and domestic services. Care regimes are examined in order to highlight similarities and differences in twelve care economies: while liberal and corporatist care regimes are found to display a "migrant in the market" model of employment, familialistic and social democratic regimes exhibit somewhat different employment trends yet continue to financially undervalue highly feminized work in care.
