ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the gendered character of migration and its gendering influence on the (re)organization of eldercare provisioning among the high-status and affluent Syrian Christian community in Kerala. In addition, the chapter also explores the influence of the other axes of differentiation, like class and caste, in view of the intersection of gender, class, and caste. These issues are engaged with in an empirical setting in Central Travancore, Kerala. The chapter illustrates how the influence of transnational migration on the organization of eldercare is structured by a hierarchy which separates caring at the top of the hierarchy from caring at the bottom of the hierarchy.
