Women's movement away from their own home has been described as migration and the reason for their migration often labeled as economic. Despite testimonies that point to emotion, particularly care and concern for the members of their households as the primary reason for their decision to move, women's move beyond their homes is still considered as basically economic, and still confined within the conventional rubric of migration studies, rather than viewed as expanded householding. Analyzing past and recent data collated since the 1990s up to the present, this paper follows the trail of care and householding from the homes of origin of women from the Philippines to Japan to show the importance of care and emotion for understanding human movements, to further analyze the link between domestic and global care and householding, and to further explore the interrelationship of globalization, the international division of care, and householding
