This book explores the often neglected, but overwhelmingly common,
everyday vulnerability of those who support the smooth functioning
of contemporary societies: paid domestic workers. With a focus on
the multiple disadvantages these - often migrant - workers face
when working and living in Europe, the book investigates the role
of law in producing, reinforcing - or, alternatively, attenuating -
vulnerability to exploitation. It departs from approaches that
focus on extreme abuse such as 'modern' slavery or trafficking, to
consider the much more widespread day-to-day vulnerabilities
created at the intersection of different legal regimes. The book,
therefore, examines issues such as low wages, unregulated working
time, dismissals and the impact of migration status on enforcing
rights at work. The complex legal regimes regulating migrant
domestic labour in Europe include migration and labour law sources
at different levels: international, national and, as this book
demonstrates, also EU. With an innovative lens that combines
national, comparative, and multilevel analysis, this book opens up
space for transformative legal change for migrant domestic workers
in Europe and beyond.
