Domestic Work–affective labor: On feminization and the coloniality of labor
Women's Studies International Forum, 2014Co-Authors: Encarnación Gutiérrez-rodríguezAbstract:Synopsis This paper argues for an understanding of Domestic Work as affective labor. It engages with the affective quality of reproductive labor by interrogating the organization of paid and unpaid Domestic Work in private households. Thus, while it attends to debates on emotional labor, its main focus is on the affective dimension of the social. It does so by focusing on reproductive labor, in particular, Domestic Work and developing a feminist critique of affective labor through the analysis of the cultural predication of feelings associated with and infused in Domestic Work. In this regard, the cultural predication prescribing the social meaning attached to Domestic Work will be explored within the frameWork of feminization and coloniality. Thus, Domestic Work will be discussed as affective labor surfacing at the juncture of feminization and coloniality. Following this argument, the article firstly engages with feminist analyses on reproductive labor, feminization and Domestic Work. Secondly, it looks at private households and affective labor. Thirdly, it examines the relationship between paid Domestic Work and migration regimes from the angle of the coloniality of labor. Using these insights, the article explores the sensorial corporeality of racialized affect negotiated in and around Domestic Work. It concludes by arguing for a conceptualization of Domestic Work as affective labor.

South-South Migration for Domestic Work and Poverty
Geography Compass, 2015Co-Authors: Priya Deshingkar, Benjamin ZeitlynAbstract:Migration for Domestic Work has become the subject of intense debate among international human rights organisations and policy makers concerned with the welfare of Workers who are predominantly women from poor and historically disadvantaged communities. A review of the literature on South-South migration for Domestic Work was undertaken to assess the evidence base that underpins this debate. It shows that there is little discussion of the reasons for such migration and the impact that it has on households at origin. There is an assumption that Domestic Workers are driven by poverty into occupations that further entrench poverty. The literature is dominated by papers focusing on the shortcomings of legal frameWorks for regulating Working conditions and recruitment practices, resulting in extremely exploitative conditions of employment. Although a few papers discuss Worker agency these are not influencing policy debates, which continue to treat migrant Domestic Workers as victims. There dearth of research on the impacts of migration of such migration on households at origin is a significant gap in the literature given that migration is often a household strategy to access more remunerative employment in other places and remit money home.

Does Migration for Domestic Work Reduce Poverty? A Review of the Literature and an Agenda for Research
2014Co-Authors: Priya Deshingkar, Benjamin Zeitlyn, Bridget HoltomAbstract:This review of the published academic literature on internal and regional migration for Domestic Work in Africa and Asia shows a dearth of studies on internal migration for Domestic Work in South Asia, and both internal and regional migration for Domestic Work in East Africa and West Africa. The existing literature is heavily dominated by papers on the transnational migration of Domestic Workers from South East and East Asia which examine in detail the shortcomings of the legal frameWork for regulating Working conditions and recruitment practices resulting in little protection for migrant Workers against exploitation. The paper highlights the serious lack of attention paid to the impacts of migration for Domestic Work on poverty levels within families in source areas. This is a significant gap in the literature given that migration is usually a household decision in which one member migrates to access more remunerative employment and remit money home. The paper offers a number of suggestions for improving the evidence base on this important migration stream.

modelling Domestic Work time
Journal of Population Economics, 1995Co-Authors: Stephen P Jenkins, Nigel C OlearyAbstract:What variables should be used as regressors in models of the length of time which people spend doing unpaid Domestic Work? To most economists, the answer would be straightforward: use the variables which are implied by a theoretical model of household time allocation (e.g. Becker's). This paper shows that this strategy has not been followed, explores why this is so, and makes some recommendations about variable specification and the treatment of paid market Work time in particular. The arguments are illustrated using regressions based on UK time budget data for the mid-1980s.

International migration, public policies and Domestic Work: Latin American migrant women in the Spanish Domestic Work sector
Women's Studies International Forum, 2014Co-Authors: Sandra Gil Araujo, Tania González-fernándezAbstract:Synopsis Based on the Spanish case, in this article we explore the connection between migration policies, family policies, gender regimes and the insertion of Latin American migrant women into the Domestic Work sector. Over the first decade of the twenty-first century, Latin America became the main region of origin of migrants who had settled in Spain, being women the first link in these migration chains. The main factors that have affected the configuration of this feminization are linked to migration policies and patterns of migration, the features of the welfare state, the characteristics of the labor market and the way in which gender organizes and stratifies migration and Domestic Work. The achievement of national middle class women's rights to conciliate their professional and family life through outsourcing Domestic Work to “non-national” women also brings with it a deep inequality in terms of citizenship.
