Les Formes de gestió del treball domèstic assalariat a l'Estat espanyol

Abstract

Nowadays, one of the most widespread strategies especially among women of medium class, to face the complexity and the synchronic activity of the everyday life is the transposition to the market of the domestic and care work. It is necessary to think, however, under which conditions this commodification is made, if it is made following a (neo)servilist pattern of work, where the social imaginary of the «servant» is still present or, on the contrary, is made following some criteria of «quality» and a will of professionalizing this work. The goal of the following pages is to prepare the theoretical terrain for studying the mechanisms of management of the workforce in the market of the wage-earning domestic work, in the Spanish context; an analysis that can be useful for revealing some of the recent trends that are outlining this process of commodification.
