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. 2022-09-15T20:13:55Z 2022-09-15T20:13:55Z 2022 book ONIX_20220915_9783031114663_26 9783031114663 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58377 eng IMISCOE Research Series application/pdf n/a 978-3-031-11466-3.pdf https://link.springer.com/978-3-031-11466-3 Springer Nature Springer International Publishing 10.1007/978-3-031-11466-3 10.1007/978-3-031-11466-3 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 82fc8de2-1a8b-4270-b67b-6add80b89f27 9783031114663 Springer International Publishing 87 Cham open access
