对需要为老龄化人口提供长期护理的关切促使人们寻求新的解决办法，以确保财政可行性和护理供求之间的更好平衡。目前，工业化国家的护理制度多种多样，地中海国家形成了一个独特的集群，护理管理绝大多数委托给家庭。在其中一些国家，老年人护理最近吸引了大量护理移徙者，在家庭护理者（主要是妇女）、女性移民和熟练的本地工人之间出现了新的劳动分工。本文探讨了女性化的移民，一方面，在南欧护理制度的持续变化，另一方面之间的相互联系。不同股的文献汇集在一起，并审查，以说明正在进行的发展。一个主要目标是确定这种新的护理“模式”所提出的效率、公平和可持续性问题。因此，对最近关于长期护理的提供和费用的调查结果进行了审查，以便为讨论以长期护理的最佳组合取代传统的家庭护理奠定基础。
Concern over the need to provide long-term care for an ageing population has stimulated a search for new solutions able to ensure financial viability and a better balance between demand and supply of care. There is at present a great variety of care regimes across industrial countries, with Mediterranean countries forming a distinctive cluster where management of care is overwhelmingly entrusted to the family. In some of these countries elderly care has recently attracted large flows of care migrants, ushering in a new division of labour among family carers (mainly women), female immigrants; and skilled native workers. The article explores the interconnections between the feminization of migration, on the one hand, and ongoing change in the Southern European care regimes, on the other hand. Different strands of the literature are brought together and reviewed to illustrate ongoing developments. One main objective is to identify issues of efficiency, equity and sustainability raised by this new 'model' of care. The results of recent surveys on provisions and costs of long-term care are accordingly reviewed to set the stage for discussion on the optimal mix of long-term care provisions in place of traditional family care.
