This book analyses the changing face of work, gender equality and
citizenship in Europe. Drawing on in-depth research conducted in
nine different countries, it focuses on the discourses, social
relations and political processes that surround paid domestic
labour. In doing so, it rethinks the vital relationship between
this kind of employment, the formal and informal citizenship of
migrant workers and their employers, and the cultural and political
value of gender equality. Approaching these as fluid, complex and
interrelated phenomena that change according to local context, it
will appeal to sociologists, political scientists, geographers,
anthropologists and gender studies scholars.
