Homework; work that is categorised as informal employment,
performed in the home, mainly for subcontractors and mostly
undertaken by women. The inequities and injustices inherent in
homework conditions maintain women's weak bargaining position,
preventing them from making any improvements to their lives via
their work. The best way to tackle these issues is not to abolish,
but to bring equality and justice to homework. This book
contributes a gender justice framework to analyse and confront the
issues and problems of homework. The authors propose four justice
dimensions - recognition, representation, rights and redistribution
- to examine and analyse homework. This framework also takes into
account the structures and processes of capitalism and the
patriarchy, and the relations of domination that are widely held to
be the major factors that determine homework injustice. The authors
discuss strategies and approaches that have worked for homeworkers,
highlighting why they worked and the features that were beneficial
for them. Homeworking Women will be of interest to individuals and
organisations working with or for the collective benefit of
homeworkers, academics and students interested in feminism, labour
regulation, informal work, supply chains and social and political
justice.
