We are pleased to announce the publication of an article by Dr. Kamil Matuszczyk. The publication was prepared in collaboration with researchers from Germany, including a recipient of the prestigious ERC Starting Grant. The article was published in the renowned journal ILR Review. It is published by one of the most prestigious American universities belonging to the Ivy League, Cornell University.
The article entitled “The Value of Care: Brokering Work Conditions and Wages within a Transnational Care System” was published online on March 26, 2026. The publication addresses the working conditions and wages of mobile care workers providing services in Germany, with particular emphasis on the role of intermediaries in the transnational care services market. The authors demonstrate how the brokerage system affects the relationship between the number of hours worked and the level of remuneration.
The article utilizes the results of research conducted as part of the NCN PRELUDIUM 14 grant entitled “Care Services for the Elderly Provided by Foreigners and the Quality of Home Care – A Public Policy Perspective”, carried out at our Faculty between 2018 and 2022. The project was funded by the National Science Centre.
This is another example of the high-quality research conducted at our Faculty and its international recognition.
We warmly congratulate the author and co-authors of the publication!
