About the seminar
International recruitment plays a critical role in addressing the health and care workforce needs of high-income countries. This includes the rapid expansion of the international recruitment of care workers over recent years. This seminar presents the findings of research on the international recruitment of care workers to the UK since 2022, through the Health and Care Worker visa programme, drawing on interviews with recruiters and other actors in these processes. Specifically, it considers how (un)ethical recruitment is understood, navigated, enforced or resisted in practice, and the implications for the regulation of international recruitment in care labour markets.
