在这里,我考虑了卫生工作者的移民问题,并提出了一种跨国正义的概念,该概念可以最好地解决其引起的担忧,包括全球卫生不平等现象的长期存在。我的重点是从南半球来到美国的护士和直接护理人员 (DCW),也称为专业人员,其中绝大多数是女性。在本文的第一部分中,我将确定这种流动背后的因素,我将在下文中将其称为“护理人员”。在此基础上,我将描述一种似乎特别有前途的跨国正义概念,并探讨选定的政策选择。最后,我将向包括机构和个人在内的广泛主体提供具体的行动建议。
Here I consider the migration of health workers and propose a conception of transnational justice that can best address the concerns it raises, including the perpetuation of global health inequities. My focus will be on nurses and direct care workers (DCWs), also called paraprofessionals-the vast majority of whom are women-coming from the global South to the United States. In the first part of the paper I will identify the factors behind this flow of what I will hereafter call 'care workers'. From there, I will describe a conception of transnational justice that seems especially promising and explore selected policy options. Finally, I will conclude by offering specific prescriptions for action on the part of a wide range of agents, including institutions as well as individuals.
