<p>This paper intends to show, that the current<br />marginalization of domestic labour runs in the<br />detriment of both the workers and the needs<br />of the labour market. It is strongly contested<br />whether domestic labour in its current form<br />can meet the demands of a fl exible and<br />economic and social environment. At the<br />core of discussions on new, fl exible forms<br />of organization of labour one usually fi nds<br />economic sectors involving high skills and<br />added value. However, the diffusion of fl exible<br />employment schemes is related not only with<br />more high skill jobs in the labour market<br />but also with the creation of infrastructures<br />and niches able to support them. In this<br />context, a pathway towards the viability of<br />the marginalized niche of domestic labour<br />is discussed. Key position in this venture<br />is that the devaluation of domestic labour<br />is the product of a social – and therefore<br />manageable and reversible – process.</p>

The Impact

In the context of a pandemic, many enterprises take actions and make specific decisions in conditions of uncertainty,since it is absolutely impossible to predict the development of the pandemic and its possible consequences on the territory of other countries of the world. Thus, business activity also remains in an environment of uncertainty and is subject to a variety of factors that can not only negatively affect certain aspects of their activities, but can also lead to the complete destruction of the business entity. The relevance of the research topic is shown in the identification of the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic and their assessment on the modern labour market. An increasing number of employers' requirements for employees are associated with soft-skills. These include critical thinking, self-management, problem solving, learnability, resilience to stress, flexibility, and etc. The purpose of the study was to assess the current situation in the world and domestic labour market. The object of research was the labour market of the leading countries of the world: the United States, China, great Britain and Canada. The result of the study was the conclusion about further changes in the demand for labour and the conclusion about what the domestic labour market is waiting for in the future.

The Eu

This paper examines the labour standard-setting capacities of the EU and NAFTA. The social dimension to the EU is depicted as being organised along the principles of deliberative supranationalism. The North American Agreement on Labour Cooperation (NAALC), sometimes referred to as the Labour Side Accord, which is the labour standard-setting arrangement for NAFTA, is regarded as a tri-national institutional arrangement which grafts formal international procedures onto domestic labour market regimes. The paper seeks to describe and explain how the different types of activities in which the two social dimensions are engaged can be traced back to their overall institutional design. The paper argues that EU social policy is the stronger of the two arrangements and that NAALC has significant shortcomings. Yet it also argues that NAALC holds out interesting lessons for other regional trading blocs and other global experiments in labour market standard setting as its decentralised and `horizontal' character is more in keeping with the broad institutional design of these arrangements.

Is Outsourcing

Domestic labour is a very important part of national economy today. Domestic labour is aimed on reproduction of the labour potential of workers by efforts of a household. Usually domestic labour is realized by members of a particular household. However, in up-to-date economy households usually outsource particular functions of domestic labour outside the household. The most widespread is outsourcing of the domestic labour in the spheres of food preparation, childcare and everyday household services. Domestic labour outsourcing produces the whole segment of labour market aimed at meeting this demand. Employment in this segment is usually precarious and leads to decreasing living standards and developing a considerable sector of shadow economy.The Object of the Study. Outsourcing of the domestic labour in Russia.The Subject of the Study. Practices and directions of domestic labour outsourcing in Russia.The Main Provisions of the Article. Domestic labour consists of work implemented in or for a household. Domestic labour presumes a whole spectrum of life-sustaining activities.

Foreign-born population in Slovakia has been growing steadily over recent years. Since 2018, foreigners from the so-called third countries have become dominant within the immigrant population. The migration crisis due to the Pandemic seems not affected the patterns of migration to Slovakia. We would argue that the need in Slovakia‘s domestic labour market affected immigration flows more than anything else. Before the outbreak of the COVID-19 Pandemic, due to emigration flows, there was a shortage of labour in the country. However, as a result of the restrictive measures taken by the government in response to the Pandemic, changes are taking place, which also has an impact on the employment of foreigners. During the Pandemic, several laws regulating the legal status of foreigners in the Slovak Republic have been amended. This article focuses on the legislative developments in shaping the Slovak migration policy in the near future.

Domestic Labour

The domestic labour market in India reflects how various classes of women manage their daily lives, whether as employers of domestic workers or as employees. The cultural underpinnings of various intersecting relationships implicated in this scenario have remained underresearched in India. Based on a qualitative study in a specific neighbourhood of New Delhi, this article shows that certain cultural strategies pursued by female employers explain their differential behaviour towards specific groups of maids. Observing that these female employers in Delhi prefer Nepali maids over native Indians, even if the latter are willing to work for lower wages, we set out to analyse why and how these employers evaluate immigrant Nepali maids as sharing ‘our’ culture, while native Indians are classified as the cultural ‘other’.

Working for the Crown: German Migrants and Britain's Commercial Success in the Early Eighteenth-century American Colonies Relaxation in the movement of foreigners into Britain and the origins of the Foreign Protestants Naturalization Act of 1708 (7 Ann c 5) have been seen to lie in the arrival of religious refugees in England and the unsuitability of existing legislation to accommodate large numbers of foreigners. This paper proposes that trade and commercial interests in the American colonies promoted the cause of naturalisation by inciting German migration, causing Parliament to relax access to the domestic labour market and crucially allow German labour to be trafficked to the colonies. Reform was dictated by the needs of commerce and colonial enterprise, not just by politicians, courtiers and bureaucrats in London. The passing of the Naturalization Act (1708) and the subsequent General Naturalization Act (1709) both took advantage of European warfare and economic destruction, and were a direct response to the colonial needs to source continental labour. The Acts owed much to colonial Americans like Carolina Governor John Archdale who, like his co-religionist neighbour William Penn, acted in the interest of commerce and the colonial classes, broadening the base of non-Anglican access to the colonies. Opportunities afforded to German migrants in the American colonies, in particular, grew from this signal legislative change.
