Estado del arte en torno a trabajadoras domésticas inmigrantes de países Andinos en España

Abstract

Migrant domestic workers are constantly vulnerable, misinformation about migration processes, dependence on recruitment agencies, retention of documents, among other factors, represent a constant abuse compared to local domestic workers. Among paid domestic workers, international migrants are often the most disadvantaged because of their foreign status (OIT, 2013). One of the main difficulties of domestic workers lies in the lack of employer-employee communication; people who work in the home do not work because they want to but because they have no other option, in many cases migrant domestic workers do not have the service benefits they need. Although being a domestic employee is a factor of discrimination, being an immigrant doubles the discrimination, many households in Spain hire domestic employees, not only for cleaning but also to care for children and the elderly. The labor niche is created by a demand that existed prior to the arrival of immigrant women.
