Constructing an Anti-Neoliberal Analysis to Arrive at Truly Alternative Alternatives
In this week’s column, Salimah Valiani analyses the shift in the nursing labour market in the global North from permanent migration to temporary migration, particularly in Canada and in the USA. Valiani argues that this stemmed from contradictions which arose during the Golden Age of capitalism. After suggesting solutions directly related to both countries’ health care sectors, Valiani concludes that reforms should be based on sector-specific world historical analyses rather than “superimposing reformist solutions to deeply entrenched inequalities”.
Salimah Valiani is an Associate Researcher at the Centre for the Study of Education and Work, University of Toronto. In 2012 she published Rethinking Unequal Exchange: the global integration of nursing labour markets, with University of Toronto Press.
