Transnational care networks of ‘third country national’ women working in Malta
Third-country national (TCN) women working in Malta face a number of barriers, as well as opportunities. Our paper is based on qualitative findings drawn from 19 in-depth interviews with women from five South Asian countries (India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Bangladesh).
