Based on the findings of a qualitative research on gender and migration developed during 2012-2018, this article analyzes the incidence of waiting in the daily lives of migrant women from Bolivia, Paraguay and Peru in two urban areas of Argentina: Buenos Aires and Cordoba. The main hypothesis of this study is that waiting, embodied in the implications of the negotiations with different state agencies and the organization of family care, should be understood as a form of “care”. This makes intelligible the daily occupations that migrant women develop and, at the same time, visualizes the strategies and margins of action that they deploy within the limitations imposed by the social context.
