Transnational care practices differ and are not available to everyone in equal measure. Drawing on interviews with migrants' parents in Bolivia, this book considers the conditions that older people navigate in one of the poorest countries in Latin America and analyses the diverse transnational care practices that migrants and their parents engage in.

The findings highlight how socio-economic differences, migration regimes, provision of health and social services mediate transnational care practices. The authors argue that socio-economic differences matter in the ways in which transnational care is practised.

The book reveals how some parents can capitalise and further secure their position through their children's migrations, while others experience extreme levels of vulnerability.
