Precarious employment and residential exclusion among migrant women domestic and care workers: a persistent vulnerability
Abstract
This article analyses situations of residential exclusion among domestic and care workers of migrant origin according to their work modality. Using a qualitative methodology, 21 workers and 5 key informants from academia and the Third Sector were interviewed. Three labour-residential situations are differentiated, from greater to lesser vulnerability: internal workers, external workers who share a flat and external worker who live with their family unit, highlighting as a result the non-linearity in the transition from one to the other. The analysis also concludes that in all of them there are different aspects of insecurity and inadequacy of housing.
