This research seeks to explain the interrelation between international migration and care work based on the analysis of the experience of two main actors: mothers and families. It is suggested that the impact that both processes have together transcends geographical barriers. However, it also presents particularities depending on the place of residence of the subjects who participate in them. The importance of these two phenomena lies in the usefulness they represent for the global economic organization, being evident in the role of transnational mothers and the impact within the context of their own families. The study starts from the understanding of the beginning and development of both processes in history, considering their dynamics, the structures that make their evolution possible over time and the conditions under which mothers and families are inserted in said narrative.
