摘要本文对奥地利的斯洛伐克女性老年护理工作者进行了研究。它通过对照顾者的代表性调查来评估护理流失隐喻的相关性。它提出了两组问题：(1)护理流失现象有多普遍？老年护理员的迁移是否在斯洛伐克造成护理短缺？(2)护理员如何评估他们的就业环境？它是否受到了关怀流失和/或跨国合作的影响？护理人员的平均年龄较高意味着斯洛伐克只有少数人有年幼的孩子。因此，护理流失的可能性是有限的。此外，很少有年长的家庭成员需要照顾。另一方面，大多数人与斯洛伐克的合作伙伴住在一起，因此跨国合作的问题是可以预见的。护理员的平均工作评价是高度积极的，而且比斯洛伐克雇用的妇女的工作评价更积极。在斯洛伐克，有年幼子女或伴侣的护理员对这份工作或其对家庭关系的影响不会给予不太积极的评价。然而，较高的收入和患者相对较好的健康状况会对评估产生积极的影响。这种对收入和工作条件的关注表明，护理工作与其他形式的劳动力移徙可能比目前对妇女移徙采取的办法所预期的更相似。指数表明，这些发现在所研究的案例之外可能是有效的。建议谨慎地将关怀流失比喻应用于欧盟内部的移民，在这些移民中，国家之间的生活水平并不像西方和第三世界的后工业社会之间的差异那么大。
ABSTRACT The paper studies Slovak female elder care workers in Austria. It evaluates the relevance of the care drain metaphor using a representative survey of the carers. It asks two sets of questions: (1) How widespread is the care drain phenomenon? Does migration of elder care workers create care shortages in Slovakia? (2) How do care workers evaluate their employment setting? Is it influenced by experiencing care drain and/or transnational partnering? The higher average age of the care workers means that only a minority has small children in Slovakia. The potential for care drain is therefore limited. Moreover, very few have elderly family members in need of care. On the other hand, most live with partners in Slovakia, so transnational partnering problems could be expected. The average job evaluation of the care workers is highly positive and comparably more enthusiastic than job assessment of women employed in Slovakia. Care workers with small children or partners in Slovakia do not provide a less positive evaluation of the job or its impact on relationships within their families. However, higher earnings and relatively good health of the patient influence the evaluation positively. This focus on earnings and work conditions indicates that care work is probably more similar to other forms of labour migration than anticipated by the current approaches to female migration flows. Indices suggest that these findings could be valid beyond the studied case. A cautious application of the care drain metaphor in intra-EU migration where living standards between countries are not as divergent as between post industrial societies of the West and the Third world is advised.
