Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Migrant Domestic Workers in Europe: Law and the Construction of Vulnerability by Vera Pavlou
This book explores the often neglected but overwhelmingly common everyday vulnerability of paid domestic workers in Europe and beyond. It investigates the role of law in producing reinforcing – or alternatively attenuating – vulnerability to exploitation. Unlike more traditional human rights approaches that focus on extreme abuse such as trafficking the book considers the much more widespread day-to-day vulnerabilities created at the intersection of different legal regimes such as low wages unregulated working time dismissals and the impact of migration status on enforcing rights at work.
