Domestic Labour

AbstractThis study investigates the debt overhang hypothesis for Pakistan in the period 1960-2007. The study examines empirically the dynamic behaviour of GDP, debt services, the employed labour force and investment using the time series concepts of unit roots, cointegration, error correlation and causality. Our findings suggest that debt-servicing has a negative impact on the productivity of both labour and capital, and that in turn has adversely affected economic growth. By severely constraining the ability of the country to service debt, this lends support to the debt-overhang hypothesis in Pakistan. The long run relation between debt services and economic growth implies that future increases in output will drain away in form of high debt service payments to lender country as external debt acts like a tax on output. More specifically, foreign creditors will benefit more from the rise in productivity than will domestic producers and labour. This suggests that domestic labour and capital are the ultimate losers from this heavy debt burden.

Abstract Using the terms »reproductive labour« and »care«, the contribution traces the feminist discourse on (domestic) labour. The focus is on two publications from 1977 and 2019 that, despite different theoretical traditions, refer to love as a justification for gendered social inequalities. However, love is conceptualised here one-dimensionally as an inequality-creating variable. For this reason, the contribution argues for an integration of emotion-sociological approaches into the current care debate.

Chinese Immigrant Women

This study explores the lived experiences of four elderly Chinese immigrant women in Toronto. Using a combination of the socialist feminist theory and an anti-oppressive theory as the framework, this study analyzes how these women’s “dual role”- domestic labour and waged labour and the state pension policies cause them to live in poverty. The findings of this study indicate that these women lack power and are oppressed in almost every interaction that they have within the public sphere - the labour market and the private sphere – the home. Therefore, their poverty is far beyond their personal control. It is strongly associated with social structure injustice based on gender, class, race, immigrant status, age, and state policies. The strategies developed by these women to deal with the oppressive environment and the challenges that they encounter enable them to regain a sense of comfort and connection so that they are empowered and are not feeling alone.

Large family size and unemployment compel parents to allow children in school age as a domestic worker. Gender discrimination and poverty also increase children's susceptibility to work as domestic labour. Pashtun, culturally more preferred children to keep them as a domestic labour and Pashtuns allow children to work inside home due to purdah (veil).  Domestic child labour also psycho-sextual and physical abuses and it is not reported in majority cases.

<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>
