On the basis of an ethnographic research carried out in Padua in this article, the Authors examine work-related health problems and the access to health care of migrant home care workers. The analysis focuses on exchange relations with employers and health services, showing how they intervene in favouring or inhibiting the fundamental right to health. As the Authors show, citizenship rights affect the possibility of taking care of oneself as well as others in the light of welfare policies and social recognition of care work in Italy today.

Abstract

On the basis of an ethnographic research carried out in Padua in this article, the Authors examine work-related health problems and the access to health care of migrant home care workers. The analysis focuses on exchange relations with employers and health services, showing how they intervene in favouring or inhibiting the fundamental right to health. As the Authors show, citizenship rights affect the possibility of taking care of oneself as well as others in the light of welfare policies and social recognition of care work in Italy today.
