Abstract
Highlights
• Ecuadorian mothers working in fair trade flowers have concerns about childcare.
• To manage, they developed “gendered economic strategies” (Casanova, 2011).
• Their strategies involved diverse childcare arrangements and visions for the future.
• These strategies maintain gendered and privatized provision of care.
• Fair trade floriculture does not sufficiently support care.
