This paper examines the implications of migration for gender relations and care provisioning in the countries of the global south. In particular, it focuses on the notion of the care diamond and the interplay between its spatial and institutional dimensions. It explores some of the ways in which the care diamond needs specifying and moderating in relation to a southern context. The paper also assesses the applicability of key concepts such as the global care chain and the ethics of care for migration in southern countries. Finally, it draws lessons for policy-makers with regard to the care-related needs of migrant families and households in different regions.
