Abstract
The demand for care has facilitated international movement of persons. First is foreign domestic workers observed such as in Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong which employs 700,000 domestic workers. Foreign domestic workers are from nearby developing countries to supplement domestic work. The demand was further accelerated by economic growth and increasing demand for elderly care due to ageing in receiving countries. The characteristics of segmented labor market from other labor market composed of local workers, “convenience” for employers due to domestic workers' flexibility and abundance of labor supply enabled stable labor market even with the constant growth of labor demand. However, this in turns made it difficult to decommodify/defamilialize family care. The familialism of care presupposes producing welfare within family. However, the increment of nonmarriage especially in the rural area, among elderly, the disabled and among lower income started to choose cross border marriage. This is also to produce family care by marriage. However, receiving government started to link between lower fertility, “the crisis of family” and cross border marriage, which is the start of multicultural policy especially in Taiwan and Korea. Through integration policy, marriage migrants are given citizenship on condition of forming “good family”. However, the notion of integration into good family has a range of meaning between gender equality and traditionally conservative and patriarchal ones. The active integration policy is succeeded even after political regime change except Japan, which does not enact basic law regardless of ruling party. However, the legitimacy security of care through the two major international movement of persons, the policy covers the vulnerability of foreign domestic worker without application of labor laws and covers vulnerability of marriage migrants often brought by brokers through cash transaction which is the cause of docility of marriage migrants.
