Abstract
The restructuring of formal care services in Germany was followed by an increase in care workers with migration backgrounds. Based on a survey study in home-based and residential care, this article compares the situation of care workers with and without migration backgrounds. With its own conceptual framework of multi-level intersectional analysis, it examines developments in care organisations embedded in long-term care, professionalisation and migration policies. Most care workers with migration backgrounds had permanent employment and residence permits. Those with skills, in contrast to the unskilled, enjoyed favourable employment conditions, but both these groups faced difficulties in daily residential care work.
