Content:
What makes domestic work a bad job, even after efforts to formalize and improve working conditions? This text examines three reasons for persistent exploitation. First, the tasks of social reproduction are devalued. Second, informal work arrangements escape regulation. And third, unequal class relations are built into this type of employment. The volume provides both theoretical discussions about domestic work and concrete ideas for improving women's lives. Drawing on workers' stories of lucha, trabajo, and sacrificio - struggle, work, and sacrifice - the author offers a new take on an old occupation.
