Based on seventeen months of field research conducted in both Japan and Indonesia, this book offers a unique and insightful account of the lives of migrant workers in the context of eldercare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"788\" data-end=\"1294\"\u003eThrough the concept of intimacy, Świtek brings together sociological and anthropological perspectives on migration, the body, demographic changes, and eldercare.
