While men also contribute, available data\u00a0show that the overwhelming proportion of care workers worldwide\u00a0is women, and increasingly they are migrant women.<\/p>\n<p>As women\u2019s economic empowerment builds, lives are being\u00a0transformed, including decisions made to travel from their own\u00a0homes, families and communities to earn a living.<\/p>\n<p>In the destination\u00a0countries and territories, these migrant women are making a\u00a0positive contribution to the health and well-being of others as\u00a0they work in the care sector, often informally. They fill unmet needs\u00a0for long-term care in our ageing societies and buttress health and<br \/>\nsocial care systems in many countries as a kind of invisible subsidy.<br \/>\nHowever, their own health is at stake. Are they able to access the\u00a0services they need? If not, why not, and what can be done about\u00a0it? What happens to the health and care situation for the families\u00a0they leave behind? Although there are still more questions than\u00a0answers and data gaps remains substantial, it is right and timely\u00a0to ask such questions, and develop and implement workable\u00a0solutions as a global community.<\/p>\n<p>This report shed light on a particular\u00a0population group that both provides care as well as needs it to<br \/>\nmaintain their own health and well-being. It looks at the lives of\u00a0these migrant women care workers as well as the situation for\u00a0their households left behind. It takes a transnational perspective\u00a0appropriate to our interconnected world.<\/p>\n<p>READ THE <a href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/gender-equity-rights\/knowledge\/women-on-the-move\/en\/\">FULL REPORT<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Health Organization WHO has produced a new report on this population group, collating evidence across sectors.
