Studies on female labor migration in the Mekong Region tend to focus on their lives in host societies, especially the exploitative working conditions in their new workplaces and unfair migration policies. In contrast, this article exa-mines female migrants as they maintain and reconfigure their obligations of care and social reproduction in their households of origin from a distance. Three micro-level cases of migrant women in Myanmar, Vietnam, and Thai-land demonstrate that women deploy a range of resources to negotiate alternative care arrangements at home during their absence, without disrupting established gender norms and the requirements of social reproduction
