It tackles the nexus between migration and domestic work with a multi-layered approach. The book looks into the issue of (paid) domestic work in migratory contexts by investigating the feminization of migration, thereby considering the larger framework within which this specific phenomenon takes place. The author explains notions such as the “international division of reproductive labor” or “global care chains” which emphasize the inequality in the way care and domestic tasks are distributed today between middle-class women in receiving nations and migrant domestic workers. Moreover, the book shows how women migrating to work in the domestic work and private care sector are facing a complex landscape of migration and labor regulations that are extremely difficult to navigate. At the same time, this issue also addresses employers’ households who cannot find appropriate or affordable care among declining welfare states and national workers reluctant to take the job, whilst legal regulations make difficult to hire a domestic worker who is a third country national. As such this book offers an interesting read to academics, policy makers and all those working in the field.IMISCOE Research Migration, immigration & emigrationbicsscLabour economicsbicsscPolitical science & theorybicssc(Paid) Domestic workMigrant peopleNexus between migration and domestic workLabour regulationsPrivate householdsCleanersDomestic and care workAsian-Pacific countries, Eastern Europe, South AmericaFeminization of migrationMigratory regime, gender regime, welfare regimeState policiesCitizenship and legal rightsMigrant domestic workersMigration, immigration & emigrationLabour economicsPolitical science & theoryBUS038000POL000000SOC007000bisacshMarchetti Sabrina595551MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910588785903321Migration and Domestic Work2912624UNINA
