内容説明

Domestic work has become highly relevant on a local and global scale. Until a decade ago, domestic workers were rare in European households; today they can be found working for middle-class families and single people, for double or single parents as well as for the elderly. Performing the three C's - cleaning, caring and cooking - domestic workers offer their woman power on a global market which Europe has become part of. This global market is now considered the largest labour market for women world wide and it has triggered the feminization of migration. This volume brings together contributions by European and US based researchers to look at the connection between migration and domestic work on an empirical and theoretical level. The contributors elaborate on the phenomenon of 'domestic work' in late modern societies by discussing different methodological and theoretical approaches in an interdisciplinary setting. The volume also looks at the gendered aspects of domestic work; it asks why the re-introduction of domestic workers in European households has become so popular and will argue that this phenomenon is challenging gender theories. This is a timely book and will be of interest to academics and students in the fields of migration, gender and European studies.

  • Chapter 6. While speaking of international migration I do not consider migrations between different national areas of the same state (for instance between Hungary and Austria within the Habsburg monarchy). Conversely, I do include among inter-continental migrations those to the colonies. The main hypothesis of this Chapter - that until about the mid-nineteenth century the more common pattern of international and inter-continental servant migration was from richer to poorer countries, while thereafter the direction of the flows was increasingly from poorer to richer ones - is based on the analysis of large amounts of quantitative data, which I could not present in this Chapter due to the audience the book is addressing and lack of space., Raffaella Sarti
