Sometimes this is rendered as cuidado, but I like the plural version, since these chains involve so many forms of caring.  The s could also refer to how the caring happens daily.  
To quote the gender wiki:
"The term ‘global care chain’ was first used by Arlie Hochschild to 
refer to “a series of personal links between people across the globe 
based on the paid or unpaid work of caring”.[1] 
 This concept rephrases an earlier idea introduced by Rhacel Salazar 
Parrenas, which she called the international division of reproductive 
labor or the international transfer of caretaking.[2] [3]
 Hochschild first came across this idea when she read the dissertation 
of Parrenas, as she had been a member of her dissertation committee at 
UC Berkeley. [3]
 
In this pioneering work, a global care chain was seen to 
typically involve: “An older daughter from a poor family who cares for 
her siblings while her mother works as a nanny caring for the children 
of a migrating nanny who, in turn, cares for the child of a family in a 
rich country.” [1]
