More specifically, this dissertation examines the human rights situation of Filipina MDWs who participate in Canada's Live-in Caregiver Program (LCP). It attempts to meet these objectives, in part, by undertaking a limited comparison of the situation of these Filipina MDWs and the Filipina MDWs in Hong Kong. The comparison is meant to further test and validate the arguments and proposals presented in this dissertation regarding the socio-legal status of Filipina MDWs under Canada's LCP. This is done through an analysis of existing data on Filipina MDWs, and a consideration of the ways in which the relevant laws and policies in these two jurisdictions affect, create and/or perpetrate the status quo in this area of social life. The main explanatory theoretical framework that is deployed is the Third World Approaches to International Law (the TWAIL theory).The Raoul Wallenberg Institute Human Rights Library ;24.A Comparative Analysis of the Socio-Legal Status of Filipina Migrant Domestic Workers in Canada and Hong KongForeign workers, FilipinoLegal status, laws, etcCanadaForeign workers, FilipinoLegal status, laws, etcChinaHong KongForeign workers, FilipinoSocial conditionsHousehold employeesLegal status, laws, etcCanadaHousehold employeesLegal status, laws, etcChinaHong KongHuman rightsCanadaHuman rightsChinaHong KongElectronic books.Foreign workers, FilipinoLegal status, laws, etc.Foreign workers, FilipinoLegal status, laws, etc.Foreign workers, FilipinoSocial conditions.Household employeesLegal status, laws, etc.Household employeesLegal status, laws, etc.Human rightsHuman rights344.015/44Santos Maria Deanna P.1040520NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910451432003321Human Rights and Migrant Domestic Work2463477UNINA
