摘要

Similar to the many women (and some men) around the world who labor in formal and informal economies as eldercare providers, Polish women earn extremely low wages for the physically and often emotionally stressful work they perform in the private households of one or more elderly, chronically ill, or disabled clients. Polish eldercare workers in Poland and Germany are the "human faces" of local, state and supranational policies aimed at caring for aging populations in the context of both welfare state restructuring and European integration.;This dissertation is based on qualitative analysis of the experiences of Polish paid, in-home caregivers working in the public sector in Krakow, Poland, and in the informal and formal sectors in Berlin and other parts of Germany. In it I explore the ways in which the social divisions of gender, class, nationality, and immigration status shape the labor process in paid eldercare in the private household; how the intersections of supranational, state, and local policies and institutions impact them; and how these, in turn, shape the employment relationship. First, I find that the effects of postsocialist transformation and welfare state restructuring in Poland and Germany, including high unemployment, labor market discrimination, and cuts in social spending, shaped women's decisions to take up paid eldercare at home in the public sector, and abroad as migrants workers in the informal sector; in many cases, women had few other options. Further, I find that the structures of public sector in-home eldercare are very different in the two countries; different legal foundations and consequent funding levels shape caregivers' working conditions, and the quality and availability of care for seniors. As neighboring European Union members in the contexts of globalization and regional integration, however, Germany and Poland's respective structures of care affect each other in a variety of ways.;With respect to working relationships between caregivers and elders, I find that in spite of differing systems of care provision, many aspects of the relationships and the consequent organization of care tasks are similar across contexts; caregivers negotiate boundaries and varying levels of conflict with elders and their family members, and also utilize similar strategies to comfort often very lonely and needy seniors. Finally, even though many aspects of care relationships are alike across contexts, social divisions nevertheless do play a role in relationships between Polish caregivers and German elders. Nationality comes into play both as Poles draw on their stereotype as particularly "warmhearted" caregivers to distinguish themselves from "cold" and "heartless" Germans, and as Polish caregivers perceive their treatment by German elders (and/or their family members) as based in a belief of Polish inferiority and German superiority.
